Patricia McIntyre
ProGen Member Overview
Finding family members who lived before brings a special joy. Linked2Ancestors LLC was established in 2010 to help with that mission in mind. I specialize in records of the United States and Hungary (German immigrants to Veszprem County). Living near the Salt Lake Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, I have access to one of the largest archives in the world. No project is too large or small - from a one page look up to moving your family line back several generations.
