Genealogy research is a task of startling intimacy at a great distance.

I help individuals discover, preserve, and share their unique family stories. 

Discovering the stories of our ancestors holds immense emotional and social value. Over time, they passed on to us an array of dispositions and traits that were informed by their memories, experiences, talents, relationships, and events. Learning about these experiences enhances our sense of identity, resilience, and empathy. And by sharing their history, we bring them back to life, reintroducing their struggles and triumphs to our present world. 

For ancestors who left no photographs or letters, understanding their lives in a historical context can help us to comprehend the circumstances under which they made significant choices, such as where they chose to live, whom they married, and how they supported themselves. Gaining insight into these aspects of their lives can help us learn more about ourselves and our society today.
