Genealogy enthusiast for 30+ years.  My experience and interest in genealogy extends to almost all areas on the genealogy spectrum.  I am a member of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, First Families of Maine, as well as the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR).  Digging into my own family's past has been so enlightening that I now like to help others experience that same feeling.  Additionally, I currently work on finding missing heirs for Probate cases as well as Oil, Gas and Mineral Rights cases.  I have a real passion for working with DNA to solve unknown parentage cases.  My most gratifying experiences have been helping close friends and extended family members find their biological parents and/or grandparents.
