Client stories
Voices of discovery
I had been trying to piece together my family's history for years with no luck. Within two months, they connected the dots across three generations spanning Quebec, Ontario, and New England. The detail and care in their research was extraordinary.
They tracked down records I didn't even know existed: land grants, census records, and letters from the 1800s. What I received wasn't just a family tree. It was a story I could finally tell my grandchildren.
After my mother passed, I wanted to understand where our family truly came from. The team uncovered four generations of history I never knew existed, including a great-great-grandmother who immigrated from Ireland in 1889. Holding that ship manifest in my hands was the most meaningful gift I've ever received.

Questions
Common questions
Do I need to live nearby to work with you?
No. Research happens in archives, databases, and record offices, many of them online or reachable by request, so we work with families anywhere in the US and Canada. Consultations take place by phone or video.
What should I have ready before the consultation?
Whatever you already know: names, approximate dates, places, old photos, letters, or DNA results. Even a single name and a town is enough to start.
What if the records I need don't exist?
Gaps happen, especially before civil registration began. We'll tell you early if a question looks unanswerable, and we work around missing records using church, land, court, and newspaper sources.
