Here are comments from a few of the clients I have helped:

• It is clear what you have done in a limited amount of time would have taken me months or years (if I ever figured it out!). I am incredibly excited about what you found.
• "Wow, it's so wonderful what you were able to learn about my family! You have no idea what this means to me."
• "I have been doing genealogy research for many years, but you have been able to find information I was not able to find on my own."
• Simply amazing! I love this! This is leaps and bounds above what I could ever do. It's probably the first time I've felt like I know stories of these ancestors. I've been sharing with my family.
• "Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with my research."
• "You know so much and have been able to do so much to help me. I am so happy to learn more about my family."
