Whether you're starting fresh or deepening existing research, we build a clear picture from the records available.

These services help you preserve the voices, materials, and context that bring family history to life—beyond the names and dates.

“Maureen’s guidance helped me break through a brick wall I’d been stuck on for years. Her approach is practical, respectful, and grounded in evidence—I learned more in one session than I had in months on my own.”
