My name is Jennifer Cote, and I moonlight as a genealogist whilst a U.S. history professor by day. I love to work on brick walls and family mysteries but I am also happy to build carefully-researched trees. As a professional historian for over twenty years, I bring a strong research and work ethic to my client projects and I pride myself on providing every client with historical context in addition to names and dates. If you're a writer or someone else in the field who needs some research done on your behalf, I am an exceptional choice.
Feel free to contact me if you've got a project you'd like to collaborate on!

Testimonials
Jen is an enthusiastic genealogist and family detective. She helped me organize and document 8 generations on my father s side and discover facts and amazing stories about family members on my mother s side. As it turns out, one of my gr gr (plus) grandfathers on my father s side was an officer in the Revolutionary War, qualifying me to be a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. As a counter point, one of my gr gr (plus) grandfathers on my mother s side was an officer in the Confederate Army and died in a Union prison camp, qualifying me to be a member of the Daughters of the Confederacy. I would highly recommend Jen as someone who will not only impeccably research but celebrate each nugget of family history that she uncovers. She is thorough and precise and looks to validate each fact with actual documentation. I thoroughly enjoyed her periodic emails reporting to me her discovery of salient pieces of my family history!" --Donna M.
