Hello there!
Genealogy is more than a hobby. It is a way to transform your perspective and change your life.
You may know your Enneagram number, your Human Design types, or your Meyers-Briggs letters,
but they won’t give you what you need to live your purpose.
What do you know about the people and events
which created who you are?
As a Genealogist and Family History expert, I’m obsessed with finding clues in family history, psychology, and DNA to better understand who we are. Since I was little, curiosity seeped out of me longing to know where we come from and how the decisions and experiences of our ancestors impact our lives today.
This is what led me to build a career helping others discover their complete history and gain insights that would lead to the breakthroughs they are waiting for in their lives.
This goes way beyond data and charts. I discovered that in the small stories and decisions of past generations are the true answers you need to uncover who you are and the incredible potential within you.
You know how hard it is be yourself when everything you see and hear are telling you success lies in changing who you are.
You don’t want to be someone else, you want to be yourself.
Your very best self.
The version of yourself that turns your weaknesses into stepping stones, that knows your strengths and amplifies them.
The version of yourself that lives up to your greatest potential and makes the biggest impact.
The greatest trees grow with the best roots. Roots that are deep. Roots that are intertwined. Roots that support the tree as it grows.
That is what I want for you.
I know you have even greater things to accomplish.
I will help you learn about your roots so you can be the very best and most successful version of yourself.
But after decades of handing clients research reports I learned that when it comes to transforming lives the process is just as important as the information.

FAQs
Why don't you put my family tree together for me?
Through decades of both teaching people how to research their own family and being hired to do the research for them, I have learned there is immense power in spending time with your ancestors and thinking about their lives, and your own, as you research them. My goal isn’t just to give you your family information, but to strengthen you from the inside so you can better fulfill your life purpose.
What if a family member has already researched my family?
My role is to help you learn about yourself by learning the stories of your ancestry and spending time with your ancestors is an integral part of that. If you provide their research I use it to fast track what information I package together for you and find even more records that tell the story of each family. You will start with a blank family tree and piece it together yourself, but because you have a well-established starting point we have the ability to more into the deeper stories more quickly.
How many documents will you provide for each family?
There isn’t a one-size fits all answer for this question. Document availability varies depending on time period, location, record access, laws, and other considerations. I do my best to compile as many documents as I can for each family in the time allotted. Some records are well-indexed and digitized, making record collection easier, while other records are not indexed and not digitized so it takes longer to search. Sometimes even though an ancestor should have a certain record, the record doesn’t exist for a variety of reasons.
Will I get all the records that exist for my family?
I spend an agreed upon number of hours researching, analyzing, and compiling records for your family, but I cannot guarantee all records will be found during one session. Family size is one factor; a family with 8 children will take more time to research than a family with 3 children. Record accessibility is another factor; not all documents are found online, some have restricted access, and some are discovered by sorting through boxes in courthouses. I am happy to discuss modifications to your package, such as adding additional research time per family, for each unique family situation.
Do you do research for family outside the United States?
Yes, but not for all countries. Most research outside the United States is completed by a trusted contract genealogist with specialization in the records and language of the needed country. Record existence and access vary in different countries so the amount and types of documents provided you may vary from those available in the United States.
