Genealogist | DNA Enthusiast | Educator & Speaker | Founder of Family History Hound

With a passion for uncovering family histories and preserving legacies, I specialize in DNA analysis, family history research, and photo organization. As the self-proclaimed Family History Hound, I help individuals and families explore their roots, solve genealogical mysteries, and organize their family archives meaningfully.

My expertise includes:
✔ Genetic Genealogy – Using DNA results to confirm relationships and break through brick walls
✔ Traditional Genealogical Research – Tracing family lines in Canada, the U.S., and beyond
✔ Photo & Heirloom Organization – Preserving and digitizing family memories for future generations
✔ Genealogy Education & Speaking – Teaching others through workshops, webinars, and online content

In addition to my research services, I run a YouTube channel to share tips, tools, and strategies for preserving genealogy and family history. 
I am a certified FOREVER Senior Ambassador and have experience preserving your photo and digital legacy. 

Let’s connect! Whether you need help solving a genealogical mystery, organizing your family history, or learning how to use DNA in your research, I’d love to help you.
