Genealogy and Family History Research Services

Hiring a professional genealogist is just a few easy clicks away. Here’s what you need to know.

What I Offer

Genealogical research is as unique as each client is. Here are some examples of things I can work on:

  • Citizenship by descent.

  • Uncovering unknown parents or ancestors using DNA results on Ancestry.com or 23 and Me.

  • Lineage societies.

  • Immigrant journeys or unknown ethnic origins.

  • Tree building or verification.

  • Visiting local cemeteries and archives (I’m in Maine and serve the wider New England region!)

  • Individual brick walls.

My work adheres to the Genealogical Standard of Proof. My clients and the work I conduct on their behalf remains completely confidential.

Many people feel overwhelmed before hiring a professional—don’t be. My goal is to make sure you find the answers you’re looking for and understand more about your family and ancestry. Remember: knowing our origins is a basic human right.

  • I will conduct an advanced search in this two-hour block. For more complex cases I can assess the scope of your project, outline the a path for the research needed, and propose a path forward in the form of a written report. 30 minute Zoom included.

  • Book time for a lengthier project in which you anticipate needing more extensive research. Deliverables might include a family tree, descendancy chart or pedigree, a written report on a specific ancestor, or seeking and retrieving specific records for citizenship cases.

  • A larger project block appropriate for citizenship cases, more extensive tree building or verification. Deliverables might include a more extensive tree, written reports, a narrative family history.

  • Project-based investigation for podcasters, documentarians, academic researchers, or other professional contexts. I can locate anything from living individuals to archival audio and footage.
