I'm Susan Martin, founder and principal genealogist at Relative Genealogy in North Central Alabama. As a professional genealogist, I bring a unique background as a former educator with a Master of Arts in History and a Bachelor of Arts in Human and Environmental Sciences. This combination of historical knowledge and teaching experience shapes my systematic approach to genealogical research.

I specialize in comprehensive research with thorough analysis and documentation, conducting both online and onsite investigations at courthouses, libraries, archives, and cemeteries.
I'm passionate about helping others discover their family stories and look forward to helping you with yours.

Remember, "Everything is Relative except Relatives, they are Absolute" – Alfred Stieglitz.
