FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH

Genealogy involves mapping family relationships across generations through the use of official sources such as census or court records and unofficial ones such as oral histories or diaries.

In addition to locating the records, it involves understanding, analyzing and organizing the information to pass on to future generations.

It can be very rewarding but also very time consuming for those new to it. I enjoy getting the job done quickly.

While I am presently based in North Carolina and well situated for local research, I also have a background researching families across the US including Jewish immigrants, New England colonists, Midwest pioneers, and families with deep roots in the South.

In addition to local archives, I use a variety of online resources to get results.

So, whether you have hit a brick wall in your own research and have a specific goal in mind, or are looking for a basic build-my-tree-quickly-from-scratch type of research, I am more than happy to help.

I will summarize my findings and include pedigree charts and/or family group sheets as requested or applicable. I will also give you suggestions for continuing your research.
