When one of your favorite things as a child is filling out pedigree charts, reading old books & newspapers, visiting cemeteries, and listening to your family talk about your ancestors – you know you’re meant to be a genealogist!

Scrawling the names of her ancestors on pedigree charts, going to libraries and courthouses searching through old books and newspapers, and recording it in a notebook in handwriting much too large and messy to fit on the lines was just the beginning of Tammy’s life-long passion for family history.

Raising two children and other priorities came first over the years, however, genealogy always remained a favorite pursuit. Working as a volunteer at the local libraries was a great help in learning to decipher antiquated handwriting and provided hours of satisfaction, researching her British. Scottish, German & French ancestry brought new challenges to overcome as she worked to bring accuracy to her family tree with archival records, newspaper articles, and cemetery research. In 2010, she decided it was time to take her knowledge and expertise and assist others who may need their ancestors found.

She formed Eledge Family in 2010 and started assisting clients. In 2015 she took on learning how to find relatives through DNA and in 2018 she joined forces with COADB providing surname research services, DNA, heraldry & genealogy research. Her ownership of COADB became effective in 2020 and COADB / Eledge Family was merged. She has continued to serve as a researcher, genealogist, and family historian. Below are some recent reviews from clients that Tammy has assisted with their research!

Thank you, Tammy, for your amazing work on behalf of my family! Through your research, I came to know my brother as a person, rather than the icon of the family, gone too soon. It will be my sincere pleasure to recommend your company to family and friends. You have been extremely thorough and detailed. In addition, I appreciate how promptly you answered my questions and provided files according to my timeline. This has been a fabulous experience!

I would give COADB 10 stars if I could. On my initial call with Tammy (owner) she couldn’t have been more patient with me and answered all of my questions. I had never traced my heritage before and had no idea the detail that goes into this type of research. She stayed in touch with me and assured me she was collecting data that I would very happy with. She was wrong, I was not happy.. I was ecstatic! She far exceeded my expectations and I was blown away by all the files she sent me. I have told family and friends (even my ex-wife) about 10 star Tammy (my nickname for her) If you are interested in your family lineage, stop looking and call COADB, you will not be sorry. I honestly, can’t wait to work with them again! Tammy – you and your company are rock stars!!!

“COADB and the team were a GREAT resource in helping me find the coat of arms I was looking for.

They also went above and beyond to perform the genealogy research needed in order to identify the coat of arms. I would use them again for sure! The service provided is personal and direct and the follow through went beyond my expectations.”

– Cory L., from Massachusettes, August 2019

“I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the work you and the rest of the folks at COADB did on this report. The little details you were able to put into the report made me feel good about it, and it will mean that much more to everyone.

It is truly going to make a wonderful gift not only for my mom but for the entire family. You have helped us recapture our history and tie us to our past in a time when everything seems to be reaping the whirlwind. I will be sure to mention how excellent you have all been on Christmas morning.”
