As a passionate genealogist, I am delighted to offer both forensic and traditional genealogy research services to help you uncover your fascinating family history.

My 25+ years of experience working as a paralegal combined with 20+ (probably more) years of experience with genealogy research, have provided me with the skills necessary to work on forensic and documentary genealogy research problems.

Forensic research is currently limited to heir searches and land ownership cases (adverse possession, quiet title, gas/mineral rights, etc.).

My personal documentary research is focused in North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Pennsylvania; however, I will conduct family research anywhere in the United States!

    Week 7 – #52Ancestors The theme this week is Outcast – I immediately thought of my grand-uncle, John Delp. John was born in February 1888, to Rush Delp and Anna Witt.1 I have found only three documents relating to his existence, but they tell a sad story. By 1910, John was a patient at the…
