I am a professional genealogist, educator, and researcher with a background in history and sustainability. I hold Bachelor of Arts degrees in Sustainability and History, along with a Master of Arts in History. I specialize in solving complex genealogical mysteries, utilizing advanced research methods such as forensic genealogy and newspaper archives to uncover elusive family histories. As a lecturer and content creator, I have presented at conferences and webinars. My passion for genealogy is matched by my dedication to lifelong learning and ability to unravel challenging family connections for my clients.

If you're facing a research challenge or need help uncovering your family’s story, I’d love to assist. Feel free to contact me to discuss how I can help with your genealogical research needs.

Testimonials
I could not figure out who the person was in my DNA matches that was so close. Dee helped to figure out that my uncle, who passed many years ago, had a child he never knew about. And she figured it out in less than a day! - Marta, South Carolina


Dee has helped me break several brick walls. Without her help I would still be back in North Carolina trying to find my great grandfather. - Jack L., Columbus, GA


I have hired a few researchers over the years but Dee is the only one I have went back to twice. I like to do the research myself or at least be involved in the search and she has been wonderful in allowing me to do that. - Phyllis J., Louisville, KY.
