This sculpture honors the courage, grief, and hope carried by people who left their homelands seeking a better life—sometimes by choice, sometimes by necessity.
As a genealogist, I believe that migration—across borders, cultures, and generations—is something that connects us all. No matter your background, your family story matters.
I am a passionate and tenacious family researcher ready to put my boundless energy into uncovering your roots.
Whether you're hoping to:
– Discover lost relatives
– Explore ethnicity
– Solve family mysteries
…I'm here to help you bring your ancestors’ stories to light.
When you work with a professional genealogist, you’re not just discovering who your ancestors were—you’re uncovering what they lived through, what they overcame, and how their stories still shape you today. These discoveries can bring a profound sense of connection and identity that lasts for generations.
Professional genealogists are trained in advanced research methods and know how to access historical records that aren't available on mainstream websites. We know how to find what's hidden—and how to verify what others might miss.
A genealogist helps uncover the real stories—bizarre coincidences, quiet acts of bravery, and once-forgotten traditions.
Your family history is a gift. When compiled by a professional, it becomes a keepsake—a lasting heirloom that future generations can treasure, learn from, and build upon.
Professional genealogists follow rigorous research standards and a code of ethics that ensures every detail is approached with care, accuracy, and respect for your family's story.
With a wide-ranging background in genealogical research—and an almost obsessive love of solving family mysteries—I’m well equipped to help you uncover your ancestry with depth, accuracy, and care.
