Find Your Ancestor

One person. One question. Evidence-based answers.

Focused research to identify a specific ancestor, confirm a connection, or untangle a mystery when the records do not line up.

Best for

• Missing parents or uncertain parentage
• An ancestor who disappears between records
• Conflicting dates, places, or name spellings
• Same-name people in the same location

What I do

• Define a clear research question
• Search the most relevant record sets for the location and time period
• Compare evidence and explain conflicts in plain language
• Document conclusions and recommend next steps

Deliverables

• Research plan + research log
• Written evidence summary with citations
• Copies/links to key records (when available and permitted)
• Next-step recommendations
