Currently accepting clients for...

I am a professional genealogist with eighteen years of experience. My extensive experience includes:

o  Building basic family trees for clients
o  Creating trees from handwritten information or notes
o  Organizing files for presentation to others or for the client’s own benefit
o  Creating beautifully written family history books to preserve the family's ancestral origins that can be passed down to future generations
o  Assisting clients with Canadian citizenship by descent applications by locating baptismal documents and other necessary documentation. If a Canadian birth record does not exist, I assist by collecting corroborating documents and writing proof arguments for the Canadian birth of the ancestor
o  Locating living heirs for real estate and other purposes
o  Preparing professional research reports utilizing the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) complete with source citations and clearly laid out facts that are easy to understand and follow
o  General genealogical and historical research and searches for specific documents
o  Transcribing historical documents, including abstracting and extracting
o  DNA analysis – Successfully located previously unknown fathers for four different clients by analyzing their DNA results, building family trees, and working logically to connect the genealogical dots

I utilize all the basic genealogy online databases as well as state and local archive records. 

Experience with French-Canadian, Jewish, early Colonial research, Northeastern, Southern United States. 

Professional Affiliations:

I always adhere to the highest standards of the genealogical profession before presenting any information to a client as factual. Documents are analyzed, tested, compared, and validated before including them in the work product presented to any client. 

I have a passion for genealogy and research and love to utilize my skills to help clients solve mysteries and understand their ancestry better.
