Do you have an ancestor who lived in Virginia? I am a PhD-level researcher who has been doing genealogy research on my own family as well as research subjects since 2017. Living in Virginia I am immersed in the Commonwealth's history and am especially interested in assisting with DAR/SAR lineage applications for Virginia ancestors. I am adept at seeing patterns and uncovering details from documents to help you get a fuller picture of your ancestor's life. I am skilled in critical thinking and can help break down brick walls via careful review of existing documentation and strategic creative research on new lead sources. I have a special interest in cemeteries and would be thrilled to help you locate and preserve your ancestor's gravesites in the Central Virginia area.

The eighteenth and seventeenth centuries presented challenges that needed a professional. Aldona worked with me to develop a plan with specific goals and objectives within a defined timeline and a competitive budget. They have been met in a timely and professional manner from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Aldona and Olive Mill Genealogy for professional results in your genealogical projects." - Robert B., Birmingham, AL.
