A lifelong passion, a professional edge.
Rooted in a lifelong passion for family history, I bring both personal dedication and professional expertise to every genealogical project.
Growing up in a genealogy-focused family sparked an early love for uncovering ancestral stories - one that has evolved into helping more than 50 clients successfully document their lineage, from lineage society applications to in-depth family research.
What sets my work apart is a unique blend of traditional genealogical rigor and advanced analytical expertise. With a Georgia Tech engineering education and a career in management and IT consulting, I approach genealogy with a structured, problem-solving mindset.
This allows me to tackle complex research challenges, evaluate evidence with precision, and deliver clear, well-supported conclusions.
I integrate proven genealogical standards with modern tools and technologies, including digital archives, DNA analysis, data security best practices, and emerging AI-driven research methods.
Your family history shouldn’t feel confusing or out of reach, it should feel clear, meaningful, and worth preserving
Real people, real breakthroughs.

FAQs
Everything you need to know before you take the first step.
What exactly is the Know Your Roots method?
It’s basically a smarter way to do family history research. Instead of just collecting names, you learn how to really analyze records, stay organized, and build a family tree you can actually trust.
Do I need to have experience to join?
Not at all. Whether you’re just starting out or have been researching for years, the program meets you where you are and helps you level up.
How is this different from using sites like Ancestry?
Those sites give you access to records, but they don’t really teach you how to use them properly. This program shows you how to think through your research so you can avoid mistakes and actually solve problems.
Will this actually help me break through brick walls?
Yes, that’s one of the biggest benefits. A lot of people join because they’re stuck, and the method plus coaching often helps them finally make progress.
What’s the coaching like?
It’s really hands-on. You can ask questions, get feedback on what you’re working on, and get help figuring out your next steps, either one-on-one or in small groups.
Is there a community, or am I doing this alone?
There’s a super helpful community that meets monthly online and stays connected through a group communication hub. People share ideas, ask questions, and help each other out, which makes a big difference when you’re stuck.
Can I get extra help if I’m really stuck?
Yep. You can hire professional genealogists through the program to tackle tougher problems or dig into specific parts of your family tree.
How much time do I need to put into it?
It’s flexible. You can go at your own pace, but like anything, you’ll get better results if you stay consistent.
Will I actually learn how to know if my research is correct?
Definitely. You’ll learn how to evaluate evidence and feel confident that what you’re adding to your tree is accurate—not just a guess.
Is it still worth it if I’ve been doing genealogy for a while?
For sure. Even experienced researchers usually find ways to improve their process, get unstuck faster, and produce higher-quality work.
