Testimonials from Clients
Here are comments a few of the clients I have helped:
- "It is clear what you have done in a limited amount of time would have taken me months or years (if I ever figured it out!). I am incredibly excited about what you found."
- "Wow, it's so wonderful what you were able to learn about my family! You have no idea what this means to me."
- "I have been doing genealogy research for many years, but you have been able to find information I was not able to find on my own."
- "Simply amazing! I love this! This is leaps and bounds above what I could ever do. It's probably the first time I've felt like I know stories of these ancestors. I've been sharing with my family."
- "Wow that's wonderful information. Thank you so much for helping me through my brick wall."
- "Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with my research."
- "You know so much and have been able to do so much to help me. I am so happy to learn more about my family."
- "The research you have done and all the documents and information you have collected is quite amazing and fascinating-- to be sure the contents are still being digested, but I can't begin to thank you for your service, as I know what a challenging brick wall this was to work on."
Case Studies
Here are a few videos of me explaining difficult research problems that I was able to solve from my Facebook page:
The brick wall case studies on this site are a few more examples of my research.
Pricing
I charge based on the project and it's difficulty. My rate is typically about 1/3 the cost of the large research firms.
I am willing to do a mix of research and consultation where the client does some of the research with my guidance.
