What Happens Next?
Once you submit this form, I will review your message and respond within 1–2 business days. If your inquiry is a good fit, I will invite you to schedule a Genealogy Consultation, where we can discuss your goals and determine the best next steps.
Family history research, especially DNA and adoption-related work, can be deeply personal. All inquiries are handled with discretion and confidentiality. You are never obligated to move forward with additional services after the consultation.
Whether you are beginning your genealogy journey, facing a research brick wall, or navigating adoption or unknown parentage questions, please complete the form with as much detail as you feel comfortable sharing. The more context you provide, the more productive our consultation will be.
My goal is to ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and confident before any research begins.
