Hi, I'm Sherri Ahmadzadeh, and I've been passionate about genealogy for over 40 years. My journey began in 1982 when my grandmother shared captivating family stories that sparked a lifelong dedication to uncovering and preserving family histories.

Combining systematic research precision from my NASA and marketing career with warm, approachable guidance, I help families discover their heritage without the confusion of genealogy jargon. I specialize in both traditional research methods and modern DNA analysis, with particular experience in Southern U.S. records and repositories.

As a certified genealogist from Boston University and active member of professional genealogy organizations, I bring both expertise and genuine care to every family's unique story. Whether you're just starting your research or need help breaking through stubborn brick walls, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
