Today’s Genealogy Tip
Today’s genealogy tip—State archives provide a treasure trove of information. Many counties eventually sent their very old records to central repositories like state archives. These may be the best (and sometimes only) places to find information on your pre-Civil War ancestors. Call first to find what records the archives have before visiting so you have a more productive trip.
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.
