Drawing on my own family history research and that of other genealogists I’ve assisted, I craft narratives of the genealogy process. What was the problem/question? What was the methodology for the research? What sources were consulted? What challenges encountered and ultimately what conclusions were made? Typically, the goal is to share my experience with readers that they, too, may learn from the experience.
