Kim and Shari have been doing genealogy for 25 + years. Kim is in several lineage societies and knows the citations needed to prove your lineage. Shari has great researching skills and an aptitude for land records. Together we make an unstoppable team to bust through those brick walls! We have been to the courthouses throughout the south. We love stomping thru cemeteries and digging thru those family stories and finding the documents to come up with the truth!
Kim has some DNA knowledge and can work to find the answers you seek! Shari is fantastic at combing through old newspapers and finding those we thought were lost! Best friends digging thru the past to help the future generations know who they are and where they came from!
Testimonials
Paula K. Shelbyville,IN The genealogy obsession got ahold of me, yet, sadly, I didn’t have the talent or time needed to break through a brick wall. Enter The Bizy Genie! In practically no time, she had the documentation I needed for not one, but two! lineage organizations, on two different family lines. She truly does work magic!
Alice A. Texas, For several years, I traced the multiple marriages of my paternal great-grandfather throughout Indiana on Ancestry. Finally, I thought I’d found his last marriage and how he died. Trouble was I didn’t match any of the people on Ancestry who had family trees with this last marriage in it. That's when I called on The Bizy Genie: I wish you to find who my great-grandfather last married and how he died. I was shocked when Bizy Genie came back with one more marriage I’d missed, plus the same last marriage and death I’d found. When I balked, The Bizy Genie gave me the names and addresses of some of the descendants from this last union. I contacted one, a lady who said her deceased father’s DNA and matches were posted on another genealogy site. She sent me a copy of those matches so that I could go through them to see if any were also on Ancestry and a DNA match to me. Eureka! Several of his matches were on Ancestry and a DNA match to me. Most did not have family trees, but I emailed one who had a private one and asked if my great-grandfather and this last wife were in her tree. Yes, she replied. Ah, case closed. Mind eased. I was ready to move on to the next generation with information The Bizy Genie provided, along with documents collected, and of course the research report on my paternal family. Yes, The Bizy Genie answered my wish. I’m just sorry I don’t get two more.
