I am a professional genealogist specializing in family history research and consulting. I am currently pursuing full AG® accreditation. I have passed the requirements for a Four Generation Project research paper. I am working toward accreditation in the Upper South region, which includes Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. I am experienced in research throughout the United States, especially in the South. I currently have the delightful opportunity to provide contract research to Family Locket.

My approach:
Professional Research Planning: Identifying specific research questions and the appropriate research plan for the region
Research and Write: Provide extensive knowledge of regional research sources for the Upper South region. I analyze key sources with the evidence to support the research questions. I then write an analysis of all evidence, with future research suggestions.
Documentation: Abstracted/Extracted document images from sources, research log, family group sheet, and pedigree chart is included with the research project
