Testimonials
"I’m so thankful for Julie and her genealogy expertise. Taking just a scant amount of information, she was able to unravel a 62-year-old adoption mystery in hours, using a vast array of resources to piece together the results, in a way that made it understandable. Julie’s ability to delve in and deliver shocking information, buffered by her innate ability to gently guide you through, made the process of personal discovery feel like a friend that has your best interest at heart. Her knowledge and experience led the way, she made the journey so enjoyable."
