Forensic Genealogy & Lineage Recovery

The reconstruction of family history through a forensic lens. Beyond names and dates, this service applies investigative rigor to genealogical dead ends. By triangulating archival records, land deeds, and biological evidence, I reconstruct lineages that have been obscured by time, migration, or missing records. I provide clients with a verifiable foundation for their family’s past.

Cold Case Research & Historical Cold Cases

Re-examining the "quiet evidence" of the unsolved. Applying historical research methods to long-dormant cases. By re-analyzing original police records, contemporary media, and forgotten local archives, I look for the overlooked details that only surface when viewed through a modern, historical perspective. This is a search for clarity and context in the shadows of the past.

Myth, Legend, & Local Lore Investigation

Separating the ghost from the history. Every local myth has a heartbeat of truth. I provide deep-dive inquiries into regional folklore and "haunted" histories to uncover the actual events, people, and environmental factors that birthed the legend. This service turns oral tradition into documented history.

Private Historical Investigations

Tailored inquiry for legal, property, or private interests. Whether it is a dispute over historic land boundaries, the provenance of an estate, or an investigation into the previous occupants of a physical site, I provide exhaustive reports based on map-analysis, title searches, and on-site field inquiry.
