My Process
I start with comprehensive immigration and naturalization records research, then expand to birth, marriage, death, census, and ship passenger records across multiple countries. I trace migration patterns and settlement history while researching the historical context that drove your family's journey. I use DNA analysis integration where relevant. I then research the historical context of the time period and location before creating a detailed genealogical report with full citations. From there, I create family-friendly narratives that transform research findings into meaningful stories.
