My journey in genealogical research began in 1995, inspired by my grandmother, a dedicated genealogist whose passion for family history proved contagious. While I've devoted nearly three decades to genealogical research, I'm now bringing that expertise to professional practice. I combine meticulous research with expert problem-solving skills to help families bridge the gap between present and past, creating reliable family histories proven through detailed documentation.

I specialize in Southern U.S. research, with particular focus on South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and Missouri. As a member of multiple genealogical societies, I maintain connections to valuable research communities across these regions. My approach centers on transforming genealogical findings into meaningful family narratives while ensuring your family's story is accurate and well-documented. Services include:

• Family tree development and research
• Comprehensive research of complex problems and brick walls
• Local document retrieval in Charleston, SC
• Genealogical consulting for DIY researchers seeking guidance

Whether you're just beginning your family history journey or need help breaking through a research barrier, I'm here to help.
