🔍 Professional Genealogical Research
Records-based family history research • Lineage reconstruction • Historical documentation • Family connections
I’m a hands-on genealogist focused on uncovering the records, stories, and connections that bring family history to life. My work is grounded in original historical records, including vital records, church registers, census schedules, probate files, guardianship records, photographs, and family papers.
I work across a wide range of genealogy projects, including brick wall research, descendant tracing, heirloom reunification, French-Canadian genealogy, Barbados family history, and Canadian citizenship by descent documentation support.
Whether you are trying to solve a family mystery, preserve your history, reconnect with living relatives, or organize records for a lineage-based application, I approach each project with care, patience, and clear documentation.
🇨🇦 Featured Specialty: Canadian Citizenship by Descent Research
One area of focus in my research work includes assisting clients with documenting family lines for Canadian citizenship by descent applications. This may involve locating and organizing Québec parish records, Drouin Collection records, New Brunswick civil registrations, U.S. vital records, and multi-generation lineage explanations.
