Minnesota-Based Professional Genealogist helping people discover family history one ancestor at a time
Specializes in Family Histories and Family Trees.
Especially loves research in the Appalachian regions of North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee, as well as Minnesota and Scandinavian records.
Just like days of old, a little help makes the work a little easier and maybe…just a little more fun!
Everybody has TWO family trees:
GENEALOGICAL Trees are made by simple family relationships. People are attached to their Genealogical Family tree by birth, adoption, fostering, marriage, and other relational attachments. One’s family history begins by taking a closer look at their genealogical tree and rustling through the branches to try to shake out documentation to go with the many family stories.
GENETIC Trees are made solely from DNA connections. Membership is strictly biological, rather than relational. DNA reveals biological lines for family historians, adoptees, and even law enforcement. Genetic Trees can help those wanting to go the extra mile in exploring how their DNA matches connect to their genealogical family tree.
