I have over 40 years' experience in genealogy research with a specialty in reading and deciphering troublesome handwriting from 17th century through today. I have worked on court documents, journals, letters, pension applications, census records, birth and death certificates, military records, and more. Being able to help you make sense of documents relating to your ancestor research is rewarding for me and can help move your research into new directions.
