Experience and Education

I have been researching genealogical records since 1991. I have worked as a freelancer and telecommuter since 2003. 

I received the Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma in Genealogical, Palaeographic (British Spelling) and Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde.

I have done research with Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, United States Federal and Missouri genealogy and family history records available online. I have done research at the State Historical Society of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. I can help you search birth, marriage, death, census, newspaper, immigration, and many other records. I have experience researching digital resources and archives that still use paper.  I am based in Missouri and I am able to conduct onsite research in Missouri historical and archival centers and libraries.
