OUR RESEARCH PROCESS
Every project begins with a conversation about your goals and the records available for your family’s region and time period. Whether you are starting your research, seeking professional verification, or ready to uncover deeper generations, each project is tailored to your unique needs.
Begin With A
Complimentary Consultation
Every family story begins with a conversation. Share what you want to discover about your ancestry, and I will guide you in choosing the best research plan for your goals. Together, we will outline a project that fits your timeline, priorities, and budget.

Research & Discovery
After your objectives are defined, I conduct thorough research using both online and offline sources, drawing on U.S. record systems across multiple states, with particular depth in the Great Lakes and Midwest, as well as French and Italian records when ancestral origins extend beyond the United States.
In each project, tailored to your unique family’s background, you will receive progress updates, clear expectations of findings, and transparent communication throughout the process.
I locate, evaluate, and correlate the most relevant and reliable records available, even though I cannot guarantee research outcomes.
