Discover Your Roots
I have been researching family history for over 18 years. I love the discoveries I've made and the journeys my ancestors have taken me on.
I am eager to help you on your path to discovering your family history!

Working on your own family tree but need a specific question answered? Need documentation for a society application? I will provide local and internet-based historical and genealogical research, project planning, and evidence analysis.

Some important local resources include the History and Genealogy Unit at the Connecticut State Library
and the Connecticut Society of Genealogy Library.
