Testimonials
I had Breya research my ancestor slave roots to find the plantation owner, the probated will of the owner, Civil War records, census reports and property my ancestors bought. She did a good job getting that information and compiling it in a nice family heirloom book." Bert Family lore had it that my family originated in Northern Ireland, and Breya researched nine generations to find it for me. She will work on my Jewish genealogy next. Ron "Breya has done some extensive research trying to prove Oklahoma Chocktaw relatives for me. Even though the Dawes Rolls removed my ancestors, she did a very thorough research." Anita
