Background and Experience

For more than 25 years, I've developed a genuine passion and substantial expertise in genealogical research. My journey began with tracing my own ancestry, which inspired me to pursue a career as a Library Associate at the local library known for its local history collection. There, I dedicated myself to helping others uncover their families’ histories. My experience spans both in-depth online research and locating records housed in historical archives and repositories.
Over the years, I've guided library patrons and personal clients through challenging research problems, helped them access hard-to-find documents, and organized their findings to create a clear, manageable path for ongoing research.
