I have a new email address
[email protected]

A new website will be coming soon! I will be sure to post it up here once it is up and running.

Most recently I was able to find records for a woman looking for information on her family. She told me she had little to go on, but gave me the names of her one set of grandparents and their approximate dates of birth. I was able to find records about her family in New York City in the last half of the 1800s into the 1900s. Although I wasn't able positively determine the town where her gg grand father came from in Italy, I was able to follow records for her Irish roots to a town in County Leitrim, Ireland.

When will it be your turn to LEARN YOUR PAST?

I have recently located images of many New York City birth, marriage, and death records, and have busy updating my own family records and those of my clients.

Yes, I do go back and revisit my client's trees from time to time to see if something new pops up. I love sharing new records with my clients.

I have researched my lines back to Ireland, England, and Germany. My paternal grandmother's line goes back to the 1630s, many of whom were among the founding members of New Haven Colony in current day Connecticut.

Many of my ancestors were from Ireland seeking refuge from the potato famine. Eleven of my 16 great grandparents were Irish and nine of them made it to America.

All of these people are a part of me and I loved learning their stories.

I have researched not only these areas, but also Austria, Hungary, Poland, current day Ukraine, and Italy. And I have found ancestors for some people going back to the Mayflower arrival in America in 1620!

What is the story of your family?

In honor of Mother's Day, I am offering to search the branches of your family tree to find your family history. For only $100 I will look for documentation and share everything I find with you.

I will spend 10 hours researching your tree and I will send you the documents via email that you can print yourself and share with your family. If you prefer, I will print them and deliver them to you for a fee of 20 cents per copy.

I will also prepare a summary and a family tree that will allow you to see where each person fits in your family. Sorry, I don’t have the capability to print the large trees that you see on Finding Your Roots….that would be wonderful!

This offer is open to the first three people who reply to this post!
