Today’s Genealogy Tip
Today’s Genealogy Tip—Censuses are taken every 10 years in the USA, and have been since 1790. The 1890 census was mostly destroyed in a fire in 1921, however, but fragments of it remain. Census records are released to the public 72 years after a particular census is taken, so right now, only census records through 1930 are available. The 1940 census will become available on April 2, 2012.
Hello, and welcome to Ancestor Investigations! I am your personal genealogy consultant. As professional genealogist with 18 years of experience researching family histories and lineages, I assist clients with locating long lost living relatives, preparing papers for joining lineage societies, planning family reunions, locating birth families and adopted children, locating heirs to unclaimed estates, and helping people write and edit their family histories and biographies.
I am a member of the following genealogical organizations:
•Florida State Genealogical Society (where I serve on the board)
•Essex Society of Genealogists
•Daughters of the American Revolution
•National Genealogical Society
•New England Historic and Genealogical Society
•International Society of Family History Writers and Editors
My areas of specialization include New England, Southern, and Irish genealogy research, finding living relatives and long-lost friends, and preparing paperwork for induction into lineage societies. I also work heavily with clients in writing, editing, and preparing their family histories in manuscript form.
