• Family History Research

I am a passionate genealogist with extensive experience and a deep commitment to uncovering ancestral histories. My expertise spans across United States records, Western pioneers, Germanic ancestry, and Native American lineage research. My continued education ensures I stay at the forefront of genealogy, with a particular focus on advancing Native American research.

Educational Background:

• Family History Degree from BYU-Idaho

• Advanced German Research through SLIG and other reputable institutions

• AppGen advanced training in Native American research

Professional Experience: With years of client work specializing in United States, Germanic, and Native American research, I have honed my skills and expanded my knowledge. For three years, I served as a volunteer researcher for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints projects. This role allowed me to delve into diverse records, including immigration, migration, pioneer documents, and U.S. records from New England and the southern states to the great west. My research also encompassed overseas records in England and surrounding areas.

Comprehensive Record Searching: My services include thorough searches of all vital records, newspapers, land records, probate, wills, county and state records, census, passenger lists, Dawes Rolls, and Bureau of Indian Affairs documents, among many others. I am dedicated to conducting exhaustive research to uncover your ancestors, whether they resided in the United States or abroad.

Client Services: I offer meticulous and detailed genealogical services. Working for you, I will provide exhaustive research to assist in uncovering your ancestors, regardless of their location. You will receive all pertinent documents discovered, along with a comprehensive research report detailing my findings (or in some instances, the lack thereof).

Location Advantage: Based in Utah, I have convenient access to the FamilySearch Center in Salt Lake City, home to an extensive archive of global records. This proximity allows me to leverage these resources effectively to aid in your genealogical pursuits.
