Testimonials
Lisa B. - California I am writing to express my sincere thanks and to give the highest recommendation of Ellen and Elizabeth of the Ancestry Sisters. I am the co-owner of a family history research company that undertakes in-depth, years-long projects on behalf of private clients. In 2014, after a series of frustrating dead ends in an adoption investigation that had spanned six months, we turned to the Ancestry Sisters. And before the retainer had been paid, the Sisters reported back to us with an incredible lead that led very quickly to the identification of our client's biological mother. Needless to say, we were thrilled, as was our client. We continued to work with them for 5 years on what became an incredibly complex project. As we worked to follow one lead after another, the Sisters became incredibly valued partners and we could not be more pleased with their work.
