My particular areas of expertise are Pennsylvania, New Jersey,  New York, New England, Kansas and Quaker genealogies, but I am willing and capable of researching other geographical areas as well.              pic2.jpg (12437 bytes)

    We also offer family novels which are based on the actual historical facts which make up your family genealogy. These novels are fictionalized accounts of what the lives of your ancestors might have been like. These novels make a wonderful gift to young people in your family and are a way of making history come alive.

         Factual biographical sketches of individuals within an historic framework make an interesting and valuable book for helping present and future generations understand the lives of their ancestors and their family heritage.   

Family genealogies are available both in tree format and in book form. We will be happy to include any family photos you send us. These complete and annotated genealogies are available for family reunions as well as for specific family members. They become the kind of family heirloom that is passed down from generation to generation and which preserves the history of your family for generations to come


QUALIFICATIONS


wpe44820.gif (80926 bytes)I am a practicing attorney in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but history has always been my first love. My undergraduate degree is in history. I have done post-graduate work in history and I taught history prior to going to law school.                                   

I have recently completed the National Genealogical Society's research course and am a member of the National Genealogical Society and the Pennsylvania Historical Society and the Germantown Historical Society.

My legal training gives me the unique ability to interpret genealogical records such as estate litigation, deed transfers, trace title, interpret property litigation, wills and trusts and my genealogical training and academic background gives me the ability to put these records and others in an historical framework.
