COPPERSTATE GENEALOGY

I have more than 30  years of experience doing genealogical research. I currently work for a contractor on cases for the Army’s Past Conflict Repatriations Branch (PCRB) to find family members of KIA and MIA soldiers from WWII. I have extensive research experience in the New England and Mid-Atlantic areas and am expanding my knowledge of the American Southwest.

I started my genealogy journey during high school after listening to my grandmother tell stories of growing up in a Brooklyn orphanage.  I took her stories and spent hours at the Dallas Public Library putting the pieces of our family puzzle together. My passion for research and solving problems has expanded and now I help others find the stories of their families.
