Got a family mystery? I'm interested! I do U.S. genealogical research and writing to solve family history questions and work through genealogical brick walls. I work with clients to preserve their family stories through documentation and publication. My work includes pre-1850 census research, women ancestors, building neighborhoods of connected people.
