Genealogy

Who are your ancestors?
Where did they come from?

Many of us ask these questions, but answers usually take an expensive family tree website and a lot of time. I offer many genealogical services, from simple family tree construction to in-depth family histories. I will work with you to learn your budget and tell you what is possible within that budget. Please note that if you need a researcher to visit physical locations, I only service the Chicagoland area.

Projects I’ve completed in addition to family trees include:

• compiling the histories of fallen soldiers

• discovering the history of a family property suspected to be haunted

• finding immigrants on ship’s manifests

• breaking through “brick walls” in research

• finding contemporary maps of where ancestors lived

• retrieving county deeds (Chicagoland only)
