I had been a professional genealogist for many years before embarking on my genetic journey to find my biological grandfather. I didn't realize when I took my first DNA test that it would open up a whole new world for me - and prepare me for helping others. 

Over the years, I asked myself who my ancestors were. What were they like? How much am I like them? What can I learn from them? What have I inherited that I will pass on to future generations? ​

Finding and proving my own family has helped me develop the skills that I now draw upon to help you find and prove yours.  

I know what it's like to have questions about your family. I understand how that curiosity compels you to look for them. As your genealogical partner, I will do all I can to help you find the answers you seek.
