Why hire a professional genealogist?
Sometimes home genealogists are struggling to solve a unique family mystery. With aging parents or grandparents, they may be trying to solve this mystery in a limited amount of time. Or they may need records or record interpretation that is difficult to obtain on their own. This is where a professional genealogist can help.
Missouri Research
I am based in mid-Missouri and can efficiently access vital genealogical records by visiting local courthouses to obtain copies of land, vital, and probate documents. Additionally, I am equipped to delve into the rich resources of local genealogical societies and archives, uncovering valuable information within their collections.
Scandinavian Translation & Research
I can help you uncover the secrets of your Danish or Swedish ancestry by translating old family letters or documents. With my firsthand experience living in both Denmark and Sweden, I possess a deep understanding of the language, culture, and history that will enable me to provide accurate and insightful translations.
American Genealogy
I am adept at conducting comprehensive genealogical research across the United States, with a deep specialization in the New England, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Midwest, and Western regions. My extensive knowledge of these areas allows me to navigate local records, repositories, and resources effectively, uncovering hidden family connections and providing valuable insights into your ancestry.
Kinship Determination
I can craft comprehensive kinship determination reports, meticulously constructing family trees to aid your applications to lineage societies. These reports trace your ancestral lineage, providing the essential framework for accurate DNA evaluation and helping you connect with long-lost relatives.
DNA Interpretation
I can provide in-depth DNA interpretation beyond the standard ethnicity breakdown. By meticulously mapping your chromosomes, I can help you identify specific genetic connections to others, enabling you to compare these findings to existing family trees. This approach can break through genealogical brick walls and uncover hidden family relationships.
