Whether you have taken a DNA test to see where you came from, to see if what you have been told is true or just wanting to know more about your family, I can help you find those answers.
My goal is to connect you to your relatives. I want to find the forgotten, learn who they were and tell you their story.
I have been researching for over 15 years. I have learned a lot during this time including the best places to look, where to find obscure information, and how to stay organized to ensure the best use of my time. I will give you all of the information I have learned, you will get the sources, but you will also get an idea on who your relatives were and what their lives were like. I can always pick up where I left off at a later date, or I can give you what I have learned and help you begin doing your own research.
Life is busy and genealogy can be daunting and overwhelming! But sometimes you don't know where to begin, or simply don't have the time. I'd love to go nuts for you and help you with your genealogy needs!
I have found that organization is key. I got tired of looking in the same places twice, forgetting what documents and proof I did have; and what items I needed to get answered. Using my own experiences I have created my own tracking and organization files. It allows me to keep all items neatly together, to easily see individual families as well as the entire family branch. It is easy for me to see what has been done, needs to be done, what documents I have and what documents I need to find. Time can lapse and I can easily pick up right where I left off and utilize my time wisely. But more importantly, it allows me to see all angles of a person's life, allowing me to see where they lived, and what events would impact their lives- religion, politics, military, weather, illnesses, conflicts, etc. The best part is that it's not cluttered or hard to read!
I also have my repository of where to find certain things, allowing me to find things quickly and giving me other angles to investigate,
If you want to do your own research you may purchase any of my organization files to help you keep organized too. My personal repository information is not for sale, it is only used for my clients.
