Solving Family Mysteries

What have you always wanted to know about your family?

Maybe there is an ancestor you cannot find, a family story you have never been able to prove, or a DNA match that raises more questions than it answers. I would be glad to hear what you are trying to discover.

You can start with the question

You do not need to know how to research it yet.

Family-history questions come in many forms. Some begin with a missing ancestor. Others begin with a photograph, a document, a family story, or an unexpected DNA match. Tell me what you know and what you hope to learn. We can determine the best research approach from there.
