  • Family History Research

I'm a generalist, with over 35 years of genealogical  research experience.  Most of my research has been done in New England, NY State, the Midwest, and in Washington, DC area repositories.
Experience as well with Swedish research and Irish records in Northern Ireland and in Dublin. 

I'd love to help you solve some of your family history challenges!  I can conduct research for you, or if you want to do your own research, I can help you come up with some strategies for overcoming obstacles and finding additional sources.
