Hi! I am the owner of Genealogical Factors, and I'm here to research historical records for your family tree. I'm open to requests from document retrieval to family tree reviewing to full-fledged researching. This can be for private family trees, house histories, applications & more. I have a large amount of direct experience in records regarding the USA, Norway, Denmark (previous residency), and Sweden. I am experienced 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.

Check my languages list - I love language, it's the whole reason I'm here today! I also run oral interviews, upon request.
One of my favorite record types is newspapers, and not to brag ;) but you can find me on the leaderboard for transcriptions of Wyoming's newspaper archive. Also participating in 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks, some of which are on the business page - keep an eye out!
