Professional Ohio Genealogy
Evidence Based U.S. Family History Research
I am a professional genealogist specializing in Ohio genealogy research, with expertise in probate, court, land, and census records. I work with clients across the United States and internationally to resolve complex family history problems, brick walls, and lineage questions involving Ohio and related jurisdictions.
Whether your ancestors lived in Ohio briefly or for generations—or their lives extended across multiple states—I provide thorough, evidence-based research tailored to your specific goals. Ohio research frequently intersects with records from other U.S. states and, in some cases, international sources; research scope is defined by the historical movement of families, not modern boundaries.
Ohio Genealogy Services
Ohio offers some of the most valuable genealogical records in the United States, but they are rarely straightforward to access. I assist clients with:
- Probate and estate records (wills, administrations, guardianships)
- Census research and family reconstruction (1790–1950)
- Pre-1850 research and early statehood families
- Brick wall and conflicting evidence cases
- Land and Deed analysis
- Court and civil records
- Church and burial records
- Migration analysis into and out of Ohio
Ohio Expertise Matters
