A Legacy Worth Discovering

Genealogy is more than dates and documents—it is the story of who we are, where we come from, and the connections that shape our lives. For me, this work is deeply personal. My mother was adopted and passed away before she could discover her birth family. Years later, I made it my mission to find the answers she never had.
Through determination, courthouse research, archival digging, and intuition, I located her siblings, uncovered their stories, and rebuilt the connections she never knew. That journey ignited my calling: helping others uncover the histories that were lost, forgotten, or waiting to be found.

Our Research Services

Explore our specialized genealogy solutions designed to uncover your family’s origins, document ancestral stories, verify lineage connections, and guide you through every step of your heritage research.

Family History Research

Expert family history research uncovering verified ancestral stories, migration patterns, and connections across generations. Each project includes sourced documentation and clear explanations to help you fully understand your lineage.

Lineage Society Applications

Professional preparation and evidence development for societies such as DAR, SAR, Mayflower Society, SUVCW, Colonial Dames, and more. You’ll receive organized proof, citations, and guidance through every step.

Military & Pension Records

Discover the military history of your ancestors—from Civil War soldiers to colonial militia service. I locate service files, pension records, regimental histories, and battlefield context to bring their experiences to life.

DNA Analysis & Guidance

DNA testing has revolutionized genealogy, offering biological confirmation of ancestry and pathways to previously unknown relatives. We guide you through the DNA testing process, help you understand your results, and use DNA evidence to strengthen and extend your family tree research.

Document Retrieval & Research Trips

Some of the most important family records are held in specific archives, courthouses, and repositories around the country—and sometimes the world. We undertake focused research trips to access original documents that can't be obtained remotely, and we coordinate document retrieval from institutions worldwide.

Custom Family Narratives & Books

Your family history deserves to be preserved and shared as a compelling story, not just a collection of dates and names. We transform genealogical research into beautifully written family narratives and professionally produced books that bring your ancestors to life.

The Missing
Generation

A three-generation gap, conflicting records, and a Pennsylvania dead-end hid the truth. Through immigration, church, and naturalization records, a complete lineage was reconstructed back to 1810.

The Name Change Mystery

An eight-year research standstill and a family legend masked an ancestor’s true identity. Naturalization files and census records revealed the original name and reconnected lost relatives.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers to common genealogy questions, from starting your family research to specialized lineage and DNA services. We guide you step by step.

I'm completely new to genealogy. Is this for me?

Absolutely! Our Starter package is designed specifically for people just beginning their genealogical journey. We'll guide you through the process, explain what we're finding, and create a solid foundation for your family tree. You don't need any prior experience—just curiosity and a desire to learn your family's story.

How do I know which service package is right for me?

It depends on your goals and the complexity of your family lines. Our Starter package works well if you want a basic three-generation tree. Our Standard package is perfect if you're looking for comprehensive research across multiple generations. Our Premium package is ideal for complex cases, multiple family lines, or when you need extensive documentation for lineage society applications. Feel free to contact me to discuss your specific needs—I'm happy to recommend the best fit.

What information do I need to provide to get started?

Start with what you know: names, approximate birth years, places of residence, and any family stories or records you already have. The more information you can provide, the better I can focus my research. But don't worry if you have gaps—that's what I'm here to fill in.

How long does genealogical research typically take?

It depends on the scope of your project and how far back you want to go. A Starter package might take 4–6 weeks. Standard research can take 8–12 weeks. Premium projects may take 3–6 months or longer, especially if we're doing extensive courthouse research or DNA analysis. I'll give you a timeline estimate during our initial consultation.

Do you work with international records?

My primary expertise is in U.S. genealogy, particularly in Virginia, New York, Ohio, Kentucky, and Maryland. However, I have experience tracing immigrant ancestors back to their countries of origin and accessing some international records. If your research requires extensive international work, I can often refer you to specialists in specific countries or help coordinate research efforts.
