🔍 Hands-On Genealogical Research

Records-based • Detail-driven • Focused on real connections

I’m a hands-on genealogist who loves digging into the details that bring family stories to life. My work is grounded in original, primary records—including vital records, census schedules, probate and guardianship files, church registers, photographs, and family papers.

I’ve successfully traced family lines from mid-1700s ancestral couples all the way down to living relatives today, often across multiple regions, generations, and record systems.

⭐ Special focus: Reuniting families with lost or forgotten heirlooms—such as original marriage certificates, family registers, and historic photo albums—by reconstructing descendant lines and locating living relatives.

📜 Research Experience Includes

• Tracing descendants of 18th-century couples to present-day family members
• Reconstructing families through probate, estate, and guardianship records
• Analyzing census records with changing names, ages, and locations
• Working with French- and English-language records side by side
• Identifying individuals in historic photographs and documents
• Research across New England, French-Canadian, Caribbean, and U.S. record sets
