I have over 40 years' experience in genealogy research with a specialty in transcribing American cursive handwriting from the 1600s to today. Are you having difficulty reading deeds, military records, diaries, census, inscriptions, letters, or other documents? Those who can benefit from her expertise are genealogists, historians, museums, researchers, law offices, and the general public.
