American roots.
Family stories.
Expert genealogy research.
Ready to kickoff your family history project?
My goal is to trace at least one of your family lines back to the time of the Civil War — or to their time of immigration, whichever applies to your family.
- A visual family tree chart
- A written summary of what was found
- Supporting historical records and documents
- Census records
- Military records
- Immigration records
- Naturalization records
- Birth certificates
- Marriage certificates
- Death certificates
- Grave locations
*Every case is different. No specific record is guaranteed.

Start a beginner project See what’s possible ↓What we do
- Start a family history project from scratch — see details below
- From “came over on a boat” to the port, the ship, and the town it started in
- Trace enslaved ancestors and identify plantation locations
- Build missing branches of your family tree
- Provide a clear, visual family tree you can see and share
- Break through a family-history brick wall
- Understand how DNA results fit into what you know about your family
Hit a Brick Wall? Or Have a Specific Research Goal?
This option is for when you already know exactly what you’re chasing — a specific family line, a rumor you want confirmed or disproven, or research that’s stalled and needs a fresh set of eyes.
- A family story about a Native American ancestor you want confirmed
- Tracing your family back to slavery, and where they went in the years right after the Civil War
- A rumored Civil War soldier in the family tree
- An ancestor who disappears between census years
- A specific family line you want traced further back
- Conflicting DNA match information
- Tell me the specific story, rumor, or ancestor you want researched
- I’ll give you an honest read on what’s realistically findable
*Cost depends on scope — you’ll get a clear quote after I hear what you’re chasing.
