TRADITIONAL GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH

Each family history is unique and presents its own set of challenges. We utilize both traditional genealogical research methods and genetic genealogy analysis to help if you are just getting started, if you want to confirm or debunk folklore, if you are looking to answer a complex genealogical question, or if you need help to tackle a long-standing brick wall! Send us a message for an initial, no obligation, review to determine if and how we may be of assistance.

​

Our current research focuses include, but are not limited to:

• Colonial New England

• 18th, 19th, and 20th century United States of America, with emphasis in:

  • Florida, Indiana, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina​, Pennsylvania

​

GENETIC GENEALOGY - DNA ANALYSIS

Genetic Genealogy and particularly autosomal DNA can be used in conjunction with or independently of traditional genealogical research methods. We can use genetic genealogy to:

• tackle long-standing brick walls

• resolve matters of Adoption, Donor Conception, Unknown Parentage​​, and Misattributed Paternity

ONE ON ONE BRAINSTORMING SESSION

Whether you are a family historian hobbyist or a professional genealogist, everyone can benefit from a fresh perspective from time to time. We are available for consultation to share your current genealogical project, discuss new strategies, and share ideas for possible next steps.

​

GENEALOGICAL DOCUMENT TRANSCRIPTION

Hiring a professional to transcribe a genealogical record can help ensure accuracy, efficiency, preservation, and accessibility of the information contained in the record. Whether you have a physical or digital genealogical record, we may be able to create a typed copy of the record for you to more easily read and share with others.

​

GENEALOGICAL DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL

• retrieving documents and records from several commercial repositories (when permitted by ToS)

• obtaining and analyzing court documents including Probate, Divorce records, and Criminal case files

• record retrieval and organization for lineage society applications

• record retrieval from physical repositories in New Mexico including:

  • Cemeteries in Bernalillo and Sandoval Counties​

  • City of Albuquerque Genealogy Center

  • UNM's Center for Southwest Research and Special Collections
