Experience
I started working on my family genealogy in the mid-1970s but it was hit and miss as I raised my family and worked full time. Following a lay-off in 2014, I had more time to work on not only my own genealogy but those of others wishing to join the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. I launched my genealogy business in November 2020.
I specialize in kinship determination in the United States with emphasis on researching in the Upper South states: Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia. I have worked with adoptees and/or NPE cases to determine biological families. I also offer oral history interviews and genealogy research mentoring.
