Welcome to KinQuery.Com where I hope to help you find out more about who you are and where you came from.
At KinQuery we believe that family history is more than just the dates and places listed on a document. A true family history is focused on the story behind those dates and places. Building a family history is a craft, and one that I have developed for almost thirty years.
Working together I can help you make sense of your history by researching your ancestors and building a library of documentation and narrative reports about your family’s journey in the world. Here at KinQuery.Com you will also find my own personal blog sharing discoveries, techniques and musings on the importance of understanding where we come from.
Conducting family history research can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. With my decades of experience in this field I can help you bring your family’s history to life.

Names are everything in Genealogy: they identify us as individuals, they help us build our family groups–they are the foundation stone for our research. It is the first search item we employ when we are looking for more information on any individual or family. But is a name just a label? Is it just a one-dimensional handle for a person or family? Absolutely not.
Baby steps
It all starts out relatively simple, we want to know who we are and that invariably leads us to ask where we came from. Buckle up folks, this can be an exciting ride, but it’s not a short one.
