Hi! I am Genealogical Factors, and I'm here as a professional connection to historical records. I'm open to requests from document retrieval to family tree reviewing to full-fledged researching. I have a large amount of direct experience in records regarding the USA, Norway, Denmark (previous residency), and Sweden. I am familiar with Coast Salish Native American lineage (heck, it's my own! Member of the Snohomish, + Cowlitz descent). Other active interests include records for Germany, Britain, Poland, Luxembourg, Canada, Mexico, France, Italy, and South Africa. I often have quick turnaround.
Languages I speak:
English - Native
Danish - Fluent
Norwegian - Basic, light learning
Languages I can work with:
Swedish
Afrikaans
Dutch
Spanish
German
Latin
