I have been passionate about genealogy since my single-digit years, when I first unfolded the fan charts made by my grandfather of our ancestors on my mother's side. Those lines stretch back to the early days of colonial Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York, and in some cases, back across the Atlantic to the old country. My fascination with the lives of these early colonists has never waned, and it now is the foundation of what I do for a living. 

I am the author of forthcoming five-generation "Silver Books" on the lines of Mayflower passengers John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley, to be published by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. I have immediate access to the most up-to-date Mayflower research available, and I am ideally suited to assist applicants to the Mayflower Society, or any of the many other lineage societies involving colonial New York and New England. I have also worked extensively on cases of Colonial Wars, Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War veterans.

I love nothing more than researching and helping to uncover the stories of our ancestors' lives. I am available for hire to assist you in that very process, and look forward to hearing from you.
