Genealogy Services (Archived)

For many years, I had the privilege of helping people discover their family stories by tracing ancestors across oceans, piecing together histories from faded documents, and solving mysteries that had been waiting for generations. It was challenging, fascinating, and deeply rewarding work.

Although I’m no longer taking on genealogy projects, my love of history and family connections continues to inspire everything I write. My novels draw on decades of research and real-life discoveries, blending true details with fiction to bring the past vividly to life.

As I’ve always believed, “Our family and our ancestors made us who we are today. Find their stories, find yourself.”

If you’ve found your way here looking for genealogy help, I hope you’ll enjoy exploring my books, which are rooted in the kind of history I’ve spent a lifetime uncovering.
