I have been interested in genealogy since I was asked, many years ago, by my father to put in order a large box of German genealogy documents for him and I naively answered "how difficult can that be"? I took one genealogy class and was hooked from then on. My love of genealogy led to doing research casually, then professionally for friends and clients. I find it a combination of a treasure hunt and jigsaw puzzle (with pieces missing); mixed with curiosity about the lives of those who have gone before me.

I get great satisfaction helping others find their links to the past and their own personal history.

"Those memories I have will be gone all too soon, leaving this world at the same time I do...just as the memories of my grandfathers and great-grandmothers left with them, unless they are given and passed on, it is as if those things had never been."
