SPECIALIZED
Specialized Services
Beyond research packages and coaching, I offer these standalone services:
Family History Interviews
Recorded interviews with your family members to capture stories, names, dates, and details before they’re lost. I approach each conversation with care for the emotional weight this work carries. Virtual or in person.
Pedigree Chart Design & Printing
I take your existing research and create a beautifully designed, large-format pedigree chart or family tree. Perfect for framing, family reunions, or gifting to relatives.
On-Site Record Retrieval
If you need help locating records that are not available electronically, I can help you obtain copies of historical records (wills, deeds, and probate records) that can provide valuable information about your ancestors from archives, courthouses, and libraries in the Mid-Atlantic region.
All on-site research is subject to my hourly rate + IRS standard mileage rates. Available in Maryland, Washington, DC, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
Lineage Society Applications
I prepare and submit membership applications for lineage societies, for example:
- Sons & Daughters of the US Middle Passage
- Daughters of the American Revolution
- Sons of the American Revolution
- Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War
DNA Testing
DNA testing and personalized consultations to help you understand your results and ways to connect with living relatives.
Family Reunion Planning
Why Focus on Descendants of the Enslaved?
The legacies of the enslaved are a critical part of American history, yet their stories are often difficult to trace due to systemic erasure and fragmented records. My work centers on filling these gaps, not only to empower families with their histories but to contribute to a broader understanding of our shared heritage. Let me help you uncover the secrets of your family’s past and connect with your ancestors in a way that honors their legacy. Everyone deserves to know their family’s history and heritage.
