Family history research is now one of the most popular
hobbies, pursuits and interests in the country and, perhaps the world. People from all cultures, ethnic
backgrounds, religions and races are discovering their ancestry and heritage through
genealogical research. As a Professional Genealogist, Historical Researcher,
and Author, I
provide a variety of research services including genealogy and family history
research; local, state and regional history research; and architectural and
genealogy-related photography. I provide assistance to beginners and am pleased
to accept both small and large projects. Consultations and research advice are
also offered to those who may wish to conduct their own research, but may have
questions or problems in obtaining information. I also do complete family
history research for those individuals who are interested in researching &
recording their family history, but do not have the time or expertise. It's
never too late to start your family tree research. My services are professional,
personalized, and affordable. Areas of my expertise include Jewish and
non-Jewish research.
Based in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, I provide 'on-site' research services in portions
of West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. I have research experience in many areas of the USA and Eastern & Central Europe and am a
professional researcher with over nineteen years' experience. I have authored five books on history, synagogue architecture and Jewish genealogy and
have a comprehensive background in history research and archives administration. In addition, I index & photograph cemeteries, am involved in a large-scale
project to photograph and document American synagogue architecture and history, and also offer consultations and advice for creating, organizing and maintaining
community, organizational and church & synagogue archives.
Please explore my website to see which of my services meet your research needs and interests. Feel
free to contact me with any questions that you have. References are available upon request. I am a member of the following organizations: Association of
Professional Genealogists (APG); National Genealogical Society (NGS) and the
Mid-Atlantic Archives Conference (MARAC).
Looking forward to the opportunity to discuss your project goals and to assist you in any way I
can. Please see my section pages listed at the top of the page for further details on my services and areas covered. Thank you for visiting my website.
