Family Tree Building
Rooted in the genealogical proof standard, I will use documentary evidence to verify and/or expand your family tree, generation by generation.
This type of project focuses on names, dates, and places, but will include facts of interest about your ancestors as they are available in the primary records, such as occupation, religion, land ownership, and/or immigration.
Family History Deep Research
Delving beyond names, dates, and places, this type of project aims to answer your questions about a target ancestor.
Perhaps there is a long-standing story you want to verify or refute. Or, maybe you want to learn more about your ancestor's role in a pivotal historical moment, such as the Civil War.
Do you have a brick wall in your family tree, such as identifying their immigration or town of origin in the "old country"? This service is for you!
Heritage Travel Research
Are you planning or dreaming about a trip to your ancestral homeland? Enrich your experience with research into the details of your ancestors' lives.
This service specializes in identifying the places where your relatives lived, did business, or worshipped. Whether your destination is near or far, I can help you make the most of your travels.
There is something uniquely meaningful to walk in the footsteps of your ancestors, to sit in the pews of their churches, or visit their graves. I have done research supporting heritage travel in Poland, Slovenia, Scotland, and Ohio.
