"Who Were My Ancestors?"
find your family's story
Do you ever ask yourself, “Who were my ancestors?” Perhaps you wondered about a person in a family photograph or heard a family story. Was there a Revolutionary War, Civil War or other war veteran in your family? Who was your first family member to arrive in America? When did it happen? Were they an immigrant in the 1700s, 1800s or more recently in the 1900s? It may be possible to find out where they lived, their occupation, if they moved from one place to another, received a soldier’s pension or land grant.
There’s a good chance answers to these questions can be found by hiring a professional genealogist. Let me put my skills to work for you. I can search for documents that reveal your family’s story. My written report will include relevant components of your ancestor’s life. Here’s what one of my client’s had to say about my work:
“I have been interested in researching my family history for quite some time. My cousin and I had exchanged a few family tidbits but little did I know what was out there especially since my dad and grandparents were immigrants. A friend recommended Tina. She began a search for me and very quickly she came up with so much information. I was amazed!
In fact, she “knocked my socks off !” She not only provided interesting family details but went above and beyond including finding a film of the stone cutters of Vermont – the very job my grandfather did in Europe and Vermont! Her material was very organized, easy to read and included graphs and charts which made it very attractive to see the family line. As a crowning achievement she even managed to put me in touch with an unknown cousin in Italy. I would highly recommend Tina’s services and will continue to rely on her to help fill any other gaps.” ~ Tricia B.
