Roma Miller, Accredited Genealogist® and founder of Ancestors of Yesteryear, specializing in Great Lakes and Italian family history research

Ancestors of Yesteryear Genealogy Services

As an Accredited Genealogist®, my priority is accurate, evidence-based genealogy research and transparent reporting that you can trust. Specializing in the Great Lakes region of the United States, I dig deep into county courthouses, historical archives, and vital records to uncover the documented evidence your family history deserves. My hands-on experience with Italian genealogy records allows me to trace immigrant ancestors back to their villages of origin. Bridging the Atlantic one document at a time. I am also actively expanding my expertise in French genealogical records to better support clients with cross-border ancestry research and the complex migration patterns that shaped so many American family trees.

Whether your roots are in the Great Lakes region, the broader Midwest, or stretch across the ocean to Europe, I bring the same commitment to accuracy, integrity, and thorough documentation to every case. Through professional genealogy research, I help clients find clear, reliable answers. Every family deserves answers, and I am here to help find them.
