Testimonials
Susan delivered! I had the research done for a friend and his entire family is now excited about knowing who descended from. I am VERY pleased with her work and work ethic. She is honest and thorough. --- An enjoyable and ethical person to work with. --- Susan was the epitome of professional. Her work was timely, accurate and easy to digest. I would recommend her services to anyone. --- I can't even begin to describe how great Susan was to work with! She was so thorough and detailed, and made every effort to uncover even the most hidden detail lurking around in my family history (and let me tell you, she found some neat things!!).
