Wendy Wood
Genealogist
In 1911, my grandmother immigrated from England to the Unites States on the Lusitania.
Fifteen years ago, my father gave me a box of historical records and photos from her passing, which sparked a fire in my heart for family research. I have been to England specifically three times in search of answers to my own research questions.
That work has led me to further educational study, professional pursuits and creating and maintaining multiple family trees.
Why Hire a Professional Genealogist?
While navigating your ancestral history, you may have learned how challenging and time-consuming it can be. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as creating a tree on Ancestry.com or sending in a sample to 23and me. Beyond these technological advancements, it is common to hit a brick wall. That's where I come in!
Save Time on Research
Whatever the reason may be, professional genealogists know the ins and outs of the time-intensive research needed to connect your ancestry. I know the most cost-effective and time-efficient ways of handling records not always available or easily understandable.
