Solving family mysteries and reuniting descendants to their ancestral heritage are my genealogical passions. Discovering previously unknown relationships often involves analysis of DNA – one of my favorite research tools.
I have been researching family history since I was a teenager (decades ago). My experience spans from colonial America to the 1900s, especially in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and the mid-Atlantic, southeastern, and mid-western states.
I have researched on-site at many county courthouses, state archives, historical societies, and state libraries, as well as at the Family History Center in Salt Lake City and the US National Archives.
But, I am especially excited with how DNA can extend our ancestral connections. I am an administrator of four DNA projects at FamilyTreeDNA, and administer kits at all four major DNA testing companies. Confused? I can help.
Services
I conduct research in the U.S. as well as using the archives of Alsace and Italy available on-line. I can also serve as your genealogical research coach and guide to help you discover your own family history.
So, whether you want someone to conduct your research for you, or guide you to get started or in tackling a problem you have encountered in your research, I would enjoy working with you!
I also speak on various genealogy topics (including DNA analysis) to local, regional, and national genealogical and historical societies. I am happy to tailor a talk for your group.
PUBLICATIONS
My book The South Precinct of Dutchess County New York 1740-1790 (© 2018) includes tax, militia, and tenant lists of the period, along with custom maps revealing occupants of many farm lots of the 1750s-1770s in the area now encompassed in Putnam County, NY.
One of my most recent articles is "The Fuller Family of Redenhall, Norfolk, England: Initial Report on the Fuller Big Y DNA Project" in the Mayflower Descendant journal, Summer 2022.
