Family Histories

You have never dig into French archives so far. French wording is close to gibberish for you. Yet you dream of discovering your direct ancestors on the paternal or maternal side. Let me do the initial research for you: “Ancestor discovery” offers you a revealing study of your ancestry through vital events over three generations or more.

You have already carried out this initial research and now intend to enlarge your family tree: let’s explore together the collateral branches, have a deeper look into the life of a specific individual / couple / line... with “Biographical research”.

Through a particularly thorough research, I am here also to help you to dismantle brick walls you face in your research (Huguenot ancestors, unanswered question ...); to prove or disprove the family tree inherited from your great aunt or a family legend passed down from generation to generation. With “Breakthrough Research”, I proceed to an in-depth analysis of your data before I conduct a comprehensive research to solve your difficulties, according to your needs.

If you need advice on your research plan, a helping hand to translate a document or just a boost on a specific question, contact me: I am always happy to help you with your research!
