🎉 It’s finally here!

After months of writing, editing, and testing, I’m excited to announce my first digital genealogy guide:

Breaking Through Brick Walls

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your family history research, this guide provides a practical, step-by-step framework to help you organize your evidence, identify overlooked clues, and move forward with confidence.

Included:
✔️ 68-page digital guide
✔️ Research worksheets and templates
✔️ Strategies for beginning and intermediate genealogists
✔️ Instant PDF download

I’m grateful to my early reviewers for their thoughtful feedback. One reviewer shared:

“It is well written, covers the subject thoroughly, and would be especially helpful to beginning genealogists. The section on researching women and the appendices are particularly valuable.”

I’d love to hear what you think, and thank you to everyone who encouraged me throughout this project!

Why hire a professional genealogist?

Family history research is more than finding names online. Professional genealogists are trained to evaluate evidence, resolve conflicting records, and document conclusions clearly and ethically.

Hiring a professional genealogist means you receive:

Thorough research using original records, not just indexes

Careful analysis when records disagree or are incomplete

Proper source citations so findings can be verified

Written conclusions that explain why a result is supported

As an Accredited Genealogist®, I follow professional standards to ensure research is accurate, transparent, and tailored to each client’s goals.

Whether you’re facing brick walls, complex records, or want reliable answers, professional research can save time and provide confidence in the results.
