There's A Story
Waiting For You
Was your grandmother a 1920s flapper? Researching U.S. and State Census records, city directories, immigration documents, newspaper articles and other information can fill in gaps in your family tree and story. This genealogist can help you fill your family tree and find your family story. I know how to find marriage, immigration, military and other records.
GENEALOGY CAN BE A FUN WAY TO discover:
- Who your ancestors were
- Your family tree
- How they were related
- Where they lived
- Their occupation
- The family’s migration
- A soldier’s pension
- Land ownership and
- Wills and court record
As a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, I take care with my research and add cultural, historical and personal information if possible. My specialty areas include 18th, 19th NY, VT, MA and RI.
“Whenever I find a lost ancestor, especially on a significant date in his or her life, I feel they are near, happy to be remembered. I am interested in the times they lived in, why they migrated, their occupations, beliefs and families. Maybe you are too.”
