I Research Dead People

Genealogical, Archival & Historical Researcher
With over 20 years of experience.
I love connecting people to their past.

I can help with:

Tracing ancestry (this can be personal, or as a wonderful heirloom gift to commemorate milestone events such as a birth, or a wedding anniversary)
Creating family tree databases (using computer software)
DNA research (incl. mirror trees, contacting relatives)
Publishing records to online genealogical-based websites
Creating computer gedcom (universal) files (with these you can upload them to other programmes or websites, share them with relatives for them to upload, etc)
Collating family history stories
Attaching photographs and documents (electronically) to databases
Ordering documents (incl. birth, death, marriage)
Producing ancestral and descendant pedigree reports
Creating printable trees
Computerising family history information
Tracing descendants
Producing oral history questionnaires (which you can then use to gather information from living relatives)
Small museum and historical society databases
Fact-checking of family rumours & legends
Help prepare trees for family reunions

Understanding where we came from, who we came from, and how we fit into history is something I love helping people achieve. No matter what lies ahead of us, once we have a tangible link to the past it can change our perception of ourselves, the world, and our place in it.

In upcoming related posts I will be presenting some examples of my work, as well as post about the process of having my DNA tested, and other uses for genealogical research.

Also, if you'd like to follow me, look out for any possible competitions I may devise, where the prize will most certainly be an hour's worth of research time from me.
