Following a full scholarship to Harvard University (M.Ed), I worked at Boston University as the Research Manager for the Lab of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience - a role which allowed me to both demonstrate, and hone, my extensive research skills and my ability to identify and resolve methodological problems. I have been on a career break to raise my two boys, who are now of school age. During this time, I became interested in genealogy and tracing my own family tree. I extended my genealogical research further to include DNA and chromosome mapping. Through chromosome mapping I was able to identify (and verify with vital records) three previously unknown (and living!) half-siblings of my mother! I also identified the unknown blood-line of my great maternal grandfather, leading to over 40 (and counting) DNA confirmed 1st -6th cousin matches. Following these successes, I began searching for outside projects, most recently locating a previously unknown half sister of an adopted individual who was unaware he had any siblings and the previously unknown paternal line of an 82 year old 'war baby.' I have obtained hundreds of birth, marriage and death certificates, census records and probate records. I have methodically scanned countless electoral registers/poll books for the time consuming task of verifying spouses and addresses and I have spent hours proving (or disproving) the family tree branches of other people. I have successfully located adoption certificates and traced the service numbers of those in the military, securing many service records, naval records and ship records. I have tracked the immigration/emigration of many individuals and communicated with people all over the world, facilitating many new acquaintances in their search to locate their blood relatives. Tracing your lineage is time consuming - if you want to know your family origins and don't have time, I would love to put a tree together for you. Or maybe you are stuck at a brick wall? I would love the opportunity to see the information you have and facilitate you in moving forward (even more helpful if you have already taken a DNA test so that I can cross-reference matches to develop your line). I am a current member of The National Genealogical Society and plan to achieve my Certificate in Geneology by next year. I don't want to waste your time or mine - I do this because I enjoy it (a little obsessively actually), I'm really good at it and I want to help others on their genealogical journey. There are so many fascinating stories out there! Tell me your research question(s) - I will only take the job if I have strong confidence that I could achieve results.
