I started doing genealogy over 25 years ago when my mother handed me a box of papers and memorabilia and asked me to organize it. In the box was a family tree that my great-grandmother prepared. I was fascinated to see the names of my ancestors and became curious about them. Hence, the addiction began!
I have over 25 years of genealogical experience and have completed reports in a variety of states including Tennessee, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Ohio, and Virginia.
A few of my specialties include:
- Record look ups and analysis - I live 20 minutes away from the Tennessee Archives in downtown Nashville as well as several repositories in Williamson and Davidson County, Tennessee. I am more than happy to do source-cited record look ups and also provide analysis, upon request.
- Family narratives/histories - I love to tell the stories of my clients' families in an engaging narrative format.
- Land and home research, especially in Williamson and Davidson County, Tennessee. I would love to help uncover the history of your neighborhoods, subdivisions and homes!
- 20th century Jewish immigration and naturalization
In general, however, I love to research in new localities and learn new things!
