PRESERVE
YOUR
FAMILY HISTORY
Your ancestors’ lives were more than just ink on a page. They were stories of resilience, hope, and survival. They built families in unfamiliar lands, overcame hardship, and left behind traces of their existence in courthouse archives, church registers, and faded photographs. Those traces are still out there, buried in genealogy records, waiting to be found by a professional genealogist who knows where to look.
Every record we find is a hand reaching out from the past, waiting for you to take hold. As an Accredited Genealogist® specializing in Great Lakes genealogy research and European ancestry records, I bring both the skills and the dedication needed to locate what others have missed. Using evidence-based family history research methodology and meticulous documentation. Every finding is verified, sourced, and presented in a way you can trust and share with confidence.
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.
