Using 25+ years of research, writing, and project management experience, I deliver quality results for my clients.

I help clients all across the US, seeking assistance with their American, Irish or English roots. I have extensive experience with record sets in Texas, Massachusetts, and many southeastern US states. I also perform heir searches for estate cases.

Recent projects include:

  • Coaching a client on using pension records, and assisting with analyzing DNA results;
  • Identifying an Irish county of origin for a client's ancestor, before her vacation; and
  • Locating missing heirs for an estate. 

I am also happy to provide consultation and support to new genealogists as they begin their careers.
