• Family History Research
• Writing /Publishing

Sea Genes is led by N. P. Maling, a professional genealogist based in Seattle with over 30 years of experience, researching families across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. I specialize in records-first, GPS-grounded research—meaning every conclusion is supported by original sources, not family lore.
My approach is honest and rigorous: I’ll tell you what the evidence supports, and what it doesn’t. Whether you’re facing a brick-wall ancestor or want a comprehensive family history, I deliver polished, fully cited reports that stand up to scrutiny.
If you’re ready to move beyond online trees and discover what the records really say, let’s talk.
