- Testimonials
- "While performing research on my Great Grandfather, I ran into a specific question regarding events that occurred in the Vigo County jail circa 1907. This information could not be accessed easily using the internet in most cases. Therefore I hired Amber to interface with the court/jail because of my driving distance and inability to efficiently obtain the information. Amber located all of the information I needed to answer my question within a couple of weeks. She was very honest, efficient, and affordable. She did not charge me for unnecessary tasks which I appreciated. I will hire Amber again in the future to tackle the tough research jobs." - Jeff Auler
