Using professional genealogical research methodologies, I provide accurate, substantiated genealogical research services and compelling family histories. I seek to understand client goals in order to advance discovery, truth and understanding about family history. As an educator, I also provide effective consulting services and engaging lectures and webinars. While I conduct research on ancestors from many backgrounds, my specialty is Mexican research. I travel to Guadalajara, Jalisco twice a year to pull records and conduct research, as well.

Testimonials
Lisa is fantastic! She's smart, knows the research ropes, and was able to identify specific research objectives to help me with my goals. I will definitely use her services again in the near future. Lisa is the best and is extremely communicative and responsive. I found her to be receptive to my feedback and willing to brainstorm other possibilities She was able to bring calm order to my chaotic genealogy notes. My family history came ?alive? way beyond mere cold dates. Lisa took me on a fascinating ancestry journey. It is very clear that she worked very hard to discover the family history. I thought about doing it myself and see there is no way I could have accomplished what she did even if I spent a year doing research! She has sources of information that I never knew existed. The amount of ancestry detail she shared with me is way more than I expected to get. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who is interested in finding more about their family history!
