I will work on your family tree by either creating one on Ancestry and sharing it with you or if you already have a tree, I can become an editor on yours.

​

I research using various online sites (see About Me!) but depending upon your needs, I will also contact and (often visit) libraries, state archives, experts, cemeteries, and Family Search locations, etc.  

​

I look for more than just birth dates and deaths.  I search high and low to find  any other piece of information that enables you to learn about your ancestors life.  I look for proof between relationships and will put documents, pictures, letters, etc. on the tree so authenticity is not questioned.  

​

Because I research daily, I charge by the month.  You decide how much research you need.

        -$150.00 per month-

I am an award winning researcher having won a Telly Award, the Illinois State Historical Society Award of Superior Achievement, and an Emmy Award nominee in the Midwest region for the documentary “Legend Seekers; The Lively Family Massacre which was shown on PBS stations around the country in 2009 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNx2C5KUTdE&t=25s). I have been researching genealogy for 24 years both personally and professionally; working for The Newberry Library in Chicago, Naper Settlement in Naperville, IL and The Polk County History Center in Bartow, Florida.

 

I have personal subscriptions to Ancestry, My Heritage, Fold 3, Newspapers.com and Find My Past.  I might need to purchase a different subscription service depending upon your needs.

 

I have extensive experience in researching the Midwest, New England, Ireland and Great Britain.  I have also helped clients find their family history using DNA results and researched for DAR, and Mayflower Society membership.
