Kathy Whiting has been great to work with. Always willing to go the extra mile, answer questions, and found a great link through my brick wall. I would not hesitate to recommend her." - Anne Lang, Lake Katrine, NY

"Kathy was a huge help in reconnecting me with my birth mother. The adoption was a closed adoption so we had little to no information. I had my DNA completed and of course had tons of names, but nothing closer than a 3rd cousin. Kathy was able to take what information we had and within 24 hours she had found my birth mother! She understood the sensitivity of the situation and was very supportive. I have reunited with my biological mother and have added a whole line of ancestry to my story." - Susan

"After 50 years of trying to break through a brick wall in our family tree, Kathleen was able to offer documented confirmation which determined who the parents of my great grandmother were, as well as their historical background. Along with the genealogical report, she offered historical context that painted a more complete picture and answered many questions. Since the completion of our family tree goals, we have gone back to visit the farms, churches, schools, and cemeteries of our ancestors. The value of the connections and understandings that this research has yielded, are immeasurable." - Genevieve

"I was curious. The curiosity grew stronger and continued until I finally commissioned Kathleen to research my family history. As the principal investigator, Kathleen's services were thorough, well documented, and timely--I learned more than I thought I would. The four-generation tree is complete as requested, with a few bonus branches reaching back to 9 generations!" - Lorenzo
