• Family History Research

I have conducted genealogical research for about 35 years, primarily in New England, NY State, the Midwest, and in Washington, DC area repositories. Internationally, I have experience with Swedish research and Ireland, both with 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.
