Solving Family Mysteries

What have you always wanted to know about your family?

Is there an ancestor you cannot find, a family story you are trying to verify, or DNA matches that bring up more questions than answers? Let's make a plan to solve the mysteries in your family history. We offer free 30-minute consultations to come up with a plan to turn your mystery into a memory.

You can start with the question

You do not need to know how to research it yet.

Family-history questions come in many forms. Some begin with a missing ancestor. Others begin with a photograph, a document, a family story, or an unexpected DNA match. Tell me what you know and what you hope to learn. We can determine the best research approach from there.
