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.

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. Through the years I have worked with clients whose backgrounds hail from a diverse range of locations and I have steadily gathered resources along the way. Perhaps my collection can help you too, check it out here: RESOURCES

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. Click here to see some of the ways that I can help you: How Can I Help?

If you are ready to start working on your genealogy, but not quite sure where to start, I can help! Through virtual meetings we will:

  • Establish your research goals
  • Create a research plan
  • Discuss tips on keeping it all organised

Individual Research

I will research a single individual, as selected by you, and provide:

Starting with your father or mother, I will work back following that line so far as records allow and per your established goal. At the conclusion of the research you will receive:

  • Genealogical reports (Descendant Charts, Ancestor Reports, Family Tree Charts)
  • Overview of the timeline of the Paternal Line
  • Copies of original records and source information
