Matt has also served on the Arts, Culture and Heritage Committee for the city of Dexter.

Since continuing education is essential to the field of genealogy, Matt participates in numerous local, regional, and national programs. He has life memberships and professional affiliations with genealogical councils and societies too numerous to list, focusing primarily on the Midwest and Northeast. In the fall of 2015, Matt hosted his first annual genealogy retreat for professional genealogists, GenStock. Now in the third year, GenStock is an alternative to the more traditional genealogy conference focused on research, rules and protocol. Professional genealogists from across the nation meet annually at this alternative conference to collaborate, make connections and share their wisdom in a more relaxed, less academic setting. Held at Matt s 80-acre farm in Northern Michigan, the retreat focuses on the unique business concerns of professional genealogists and restores a little peace in the lives of its participants with its beautiful nature-filled setting.

With the help of an experienced genealogist, you can discover your family roots. By hiring a professional historian, your family tree can be built while gaining information about your heritage. Each assignment is individual in nature and size, so we proceed at your own pace. Meetings occur at your desired location, and then research begins through census records, birth certificates, marriage decrees, death notices, church records, cemetery research, obituaries, immigration papers and naturalization records to name a few. Whether you have a small or large research project, New Line Genealogy offers affordable solutions.
