Do you have a Canadian ancestor—but no clear paper trail?
I research the records that connect you to a Canadian parent, grandparent, or earlier ancestor. My work focuses on the direct family line and the evidence needed to document each relationship.

Build the paper trail
Each documented generation helps connect your Canadian ancestor to you.
01
Canadian ancestor
Proof of Canadian birth or citizenship
02
Each generation
Records connecting parent and child
03
You
A documented family line
How I can help
I provide focused genealogical research to build and document the family line.
Research the direct line
I trace the parent-to-child relationships between you and your Canadian ancestor.
Locate and obtain records
I search Canadian and United States sources for birth, marriage, and other records that document each generation.
Resolve discrepancies
I analyze conflicting names, dates, and identities and explain the evidence in a fully cited report.
When might you need a genealogist?
If your Canadian parent already has proof of citizenship and your birth certificate clearly identifies that parent, you may not need professional genealogy research. My services help when the Canadian connection runs through several generations, records remain missing, or conflicting information interrupts the documentary chain.
Genealogy research, not citizenship advice
Bill C-3 changed the first-generation limit on citizenship by descent, effective December 15, 2025; see IRCC’s explanation of the changes.
I provide genealogical research, record retrieval, evidence analysis, and a documented report. I do not determine citizenship eligibility, select an IRCC application pathway, prepare citizenship applications, or provide legal or immigration advice. Only Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada can determine citizenship status.
Start with what you know
Tell me the name of your Canadian ancestor, the places connected to the family, and which records you already have.
