Professional Services Reduced
Unless you are a former client or have a question about Norwegian genealogy, I no longer provide professional services.
Billable Services
I offer the following consulting and research services:
- Build family trees and family group sheets
- Locate documents and records (I’m near D.C.)
- Break through brick walls
- Write reports with reference citations
- Give presentations at family reunions
Genealogy research varies considerably on the needs of the client. I listen carefully to what the customer wants and tailor my rates and services accordingly.
Payment
I accept payment via check, PayPal, or bank transfer.
Areas of Specialization
Americans have migrated so much throughout history that professional American genealogists are relatively adept at researching almost anywhere in the 50 states. This is especially true given the recent explosion of Internet access to various ancestry records (e.g, vital records, census data, military files, wills & probate documents, land records).
With that being said, I have more experience in northern states than southern, and am particularly knowledgeable about the states of Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, and New York.
My strongest area of specialization is Norwegian genealogy.
Norway
19th-century immigrants from Norway, particularly those who settled in the upper midwest. I am especially familiar with ancestors from Sogn og Fjordane and Akershus counties.
Military History
The experiences of soldiers who fought in America’s wars and conflicts. I am especially familiar with Civil War and World War II records.
