Services

​

Before any project begins, I work with each client to establish a clear understanding of the type of genealogy being requested and the specific research questions to be answered. Clients may also set a maximum number of research hours to ensure the project stays within budget.

​

While my research and analysis are thorough and evidence-based, it is important to note that not every genealogical question can be definitively answered—records may be missing, destroyed, or never created. However, clients can always expect:

​

• An exhaustive and professional search of all available sources

• A detailed, cited research report

• Clear analysis explaining the evidence discovered and how it supports (or does not support) a conclusion
