I delve into historical records, documents, and other sources to construct family trees and narratives that go far beyond surface-level findings. How?
Research and Documentation: by delving into historical records, archives, and databases to trace family lineage. Collect birth certificates, marriage records, census data, and other documents to build an accurate family tree.
Ancestral Origins: By analyzing records and DNA tests, I can determine a client’s ethnic and geographic origins. Uncover migration patterns and ancestral homelands.
Family Stories: I will piece together narratives about your ancestors’ lives. Uncover fascinating stories, such as migrations, occupations, and personal triumphs or tragedies.
Solving Mysteries: Sometimes clients have gaps or mysteries in their family history. I will use my expertise to solve your yours. For example, identify missing relatives, or clarify conflicting information.
Lineage Society Memberships: Possibly offer documentation that would help a client qualify for lineage societies (e.g., Daughters of the American Revolution) by proving their direct descent from historical figures.
Preserving Heritage: I would be honored to assist in preserving your family heritage by organizing photos, documents and create a family history for you.
Remember that genealogy research takes time and effort, but the discoveries can be incredibly rewarding!
