Victoria Fisch and Jeremy G. Frankel are full-time professional genealogists whose specialty is solving family mysteries. Our range of experience includes personal family history projects, using DNA to find unknown parents and grandparents, finding heirs for intestate cases, assisting academic authors, and historical research. We have worked on episodes of "Who Do You Think You Are" and "Finding Your Roots." We enjoy discovering lost family branches and descendants. Please see our website for full biographies.
Services
We offer a choice of family tree charts, chronological reports, and/or historical narratives. Victoria is a graphic designer and we can compile the results of research into an attractive book.
Offline computer programs are suggested to ensure that clients retain the full results of our investigations. We would be delighted to help you conserve valuable family documents and artifacts.
We are committed to adhering to our clients' specific requests and focus for projects.
Specialties
We have conducted projects for families with ancestors in many geographic locations from different ethnic backgrounds, but specialize in Jewish research. We're always excited to take on a new challenge.
