Greg Wick has been passionate about genealogy since his youth. Like many genealogists, he was inspired by the stories he heard from his grandparents and great-grandparents as a young child. His fascination with finding his roots has led him all over the country, including the states of Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and abroad to England, Ireland, Scotland, and Germany. After spending many years researching his own family, he decided to utilize his skills to help clients with their own research needs. In May 2016, he received his certificate in Professional Genealogical Research after completing Boston University's Genealogical Research Program. As a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, Greg adheres to the Association of Professional Genealogists' Code of Ethics, and the Board for the Certification of Genealogists (BCG) Genealogical Proof Standard.
