Beginning genealogy research at the age of 12, Judy has provided research to clients around the U.S. and Europe, and has presented at international, national, regional and local conferences. Specializing in Acadian & French-Canadian, Native/Indigenous research, and Michigan, Ontario, and Quebec resources and records. Judy is also a specialist in Scottish research and can translate French and German records. Judy's Indigenous ancestors have been in North America for thousands of years (Lakota/M'ikmaw), her French-Canadian ancestors arrived in 1607 to what became Quebec and Acadia, Scottish ancestors in the 1780s and 1830s, and her Polish and German (Pomeranian) ancestors arrived in the late 1880s.
With lineages to the royal families of Europe and United Empire Loyalists, Judy's research includes the various spelling/phonetic variations that our families use through the years. Somewhere in these families there are also Jewish families in Eastern Europe which is part of what Judy is utilizing DNA to research, as well as the "original" Polish surname that the family changed when they immigrated. With family name variations of Nimer, Niemiec, Niemczyk, Niemcyzk, Nemshak, and more, Judy welcomes contact with those who are genetically linked with Eastern European family heritage.
