Family History

If you want to know more about your ancestral past, have a family story that’s been handed down that you want to verify, or a specific research problem that’s vexing you, I can help. I have 30 years experience researching family history and can:

My professional fees are based on an hourly rate and the total cost of a project will vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. There may be additional expenses such as document or image copies, travel, or graphic design.
