My passion for German started several years ago when I started learning the language. It is out of my love for German that my passion for family history grew. My command of the language made it easy to learn the old handwriting and search German records, both in the United States and abroad.

​

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to spend fifteen months in Brazil. After my trip, I returned to my family history research and realized that I could make a meaningful contribution to Portuguese research, so I set out to learn the ins and outs. I continue to add to my knowledge of Portuguese-language genealogy, and I am excited to help you find your ancestors.

I studied Family History/Genealogy at Brigham Young University, and like any sensible graduate, I started hunting for jobs once I graduated. My search was cut short as I experienced the joy of private client work. As a private researcher, I am able to get to know my amazing clients and share in their journeys to find their roots. I love working to help others make great discoveries and add to their lineage.
