Let’s Discover Where Your Story Begins.
Whether you have one question or decades of family mysteries waiting to be solved, our complimentary consultation is designed to help you get started with confidence. Together we'll discuss your goals, what you already know, and the best path forward. There is no obligation—just an opportunity to explore the possibilities hidden within your family's history.
Let's Begin the Conversation
A Conversation. Not A Sales Pitch.
I believe every family story deserves thoughtful attention—not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Our consultation is completely complimentary and carries no obligation. My goal is to answer your questions, explain the research process, and help you understand the possibilities before you decide whether professional genealogy research is right for you.
If we determine that additional research would be beneficial, I'll prepare a customized research proposal outlining the recommended scope of work, estimated timeline, and investment. You'll have all the information you need to make an informed decision—without pressure.
Sometimes all it takes is one conversation to uncover the next chapter of your family's story.
I'd be honored to help you begin.
What Happens During Your Complimentary Consultation?
During our relaxed 30-minute conversation, we'll talk about your family history, your research goals, and the questions you're hoping to answer. Whether you're just beginning your journey or have spent years collecting records, this conversation is designed to help you move forward with confidence.
There is no preparation required. Simply bring your curiosity, your questions, and any information you'd like to share.
What We’ll Discuss
✔ Your family history goals
✔ What you already know about your ancestors
✔ Research challenges or "brick walls"
✔ Records that may be available
✔ Possible research strategies
✔ Recommended next steps
My Commitment
Every family's story deserves a process built on clarity, collaboration, and confidence.
What Happens After Your Consultation?
I believe you should always know exactly what to expect before research begins.
That's why every project follows the same transparent process:
Step 1:
Complimentary Consultation
We begin with a relaxed, no-obligation conversation about your family history, your goals, and the questions you'd like answered.
Step 2:
Personalized Research Proposal
If professional research is the right next step, I'll prepare a customized proposal outlining the recommended scope of work, estimated timeline, investment, and expected deliverables.
Step 3:
Your Approval
Nothing begins until you're comfortable. You'll review the proposal, ask questions, and approve the plan before any research starts.
Step 4:
Research & Progress Updates
As research progresses, you'll receive regular updates, discoveries, and source citations so you always know exactly where your project stands.
Step 5:
Final Report
Every completed project follows the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) and includes documented conclusions, complete source citations, digital copies of records when available, and recommendations for future research.
Every project I undertake is guided by four simple principles:
✓ Transparency
✓ Communication
✓ Evidence-Based Research
✓ Respect for Your Family's Story

“ Every family story begins with a conversation. I'd be honored to hear yours.”
