My Story

I've been passionate about genealogy for decades. Having traveled all of the world with the United States Air Force, I became intrigued by my own family ancestry while posted in the Azores, the home of my ancestors.  I wanted to give my children and grandchildren the gift of a clear record of their genealogy, and better understand their history and rich cultures.  Over the years I began helping friends and other extended family delve into their histories, and gradually expanded into full time genealogy research.  I've become an expert in tracking down detailed family records utilizing the vast resources available on the internet.  I speak multiple languages and can obtain and translate copies of original documents for your personal archive.  Now retired from the Air Force, I am eager to help you share in the joy of discovering the richness or your family history and how that history may have contributed to who you are today.

Genealogy packages are negotiable and fully customizable to you.  Contact me today and let's start digging.
