 Adrianne has had a life-long passion for family history so it was only natural to channel her experience in research and story-telling into a career in genealogy.  She thrives off being able to uncover and share the life events of ancestors for her clients in an organized product.   

    She always loved puzzles so combining family history research and puzzles naturally led to a career as a forensic genealogist.  Adrianne now works majorily in heir search genealogy as well where she seeks out living relatives of deceased persons who died without a will or whose living relatives cannot be easily found. 

     Adrianne's personal ancestors have led her to research in Pennsylvania, Washington, DC, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York state, Canada, Ohio, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Panama (Colombia).  Researching for clients has continued to broaden her geographic research experience where new adventures always await, including Scotland, England, New York City, Vermont, California, Colorado, Utah, and more.  

     Adrianne has extensive experience working with genealogy DNA results and has helped numerous adoptees and donor-conceived individuals identify biological parents or family members as well as uncover their biological ancestral family history.  

     Adrianne is bilingual (English and Spanish) having spent most of her summers with family in Latin America.  She received two bachelor's degrees from Virginia Tech, a master's degree from American University, and additional coursework through several other universities.  

     She is a member of several genealogical societies and a card holder for libraries all over the United States, the National Archives, and the Library of Congress.  Her never-ending thirst for information keeps her endlessly motivated to provide the most complete and accurate family history she can for her clients.       Adrianne is also a registered private investigator (VA DCJS business license 11-21116).
