Hello, I'm Linda Henderson, a professional genealogist dedicated to helping clients solve genealogical questions—whether straightforward or highly complex—through careful research, documented evidence, and clear reporting.
Every family has a unique story—and every client comes with a different question. Whether you're searching for your biological family through DNA, researching your ancestors, identifying living heirs, preparing documentation for a Canadian citizenship by descent application, or creating a custom family history book for future generations, I provide professional genealogical research tailored to your specific goals.
What began as a lifelong passion for genealogy has grown into a full-time profession. Every conclusion is supported by careful analysis of historical records and documented evidence. I believe clients deserve to understand not only what was discovered, but how those conclusions were reached. My research reports are written in a clear, easy-to-understand format with complete source citations, making even complex research understandable through clear analysis and thorough documentation.
With eighteen years of genealogical research experience, areas of expertise include:
• Traditional genealogical research and family reconstruction
• DNA analysis for unknown parentage and adoption research through careful evaluation of DNA evidence and traditional genealogical research
• Living heir research for probate, estate, and real property matters
• Preparing documented evidence to support Canadian citizenship by descent applications
• Locating vital records, including birth, baptismal, marriage, and death records
• Building and documenting family trees from historical records, DNA evidence, and client information
• Breaking through longstanding genealogical brick walls
• Custom family history books combining historical research, narrative storytelling, photographs, and historical context
• Preparing professional research reports that adhere to the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS), complete with source citations and clearly documented conclusions
• Organizing genealogical records and research for clients, attorneys, and family members
• Transcribing, abstracting, and extracting information from historical documents
Professional Affiliations:
• Association of Professional Genealogists
• National Genealogical Society
• The Alabama Genealogical Society
I enjoy helping clients discover, understand, and preserve the stories that make every family unique. Whether your goal is to solve a longstanding family mystery, document your ancestry, or preserve your family's story for future generations, I look forward to helping you discover your family's past.

🧐 "Too Thorough" Writer & Editor.
I Am The Last Set of Eyes Your Copy Will Ever Need. 🔍
👩🏿💻 I have been literally told I care TOO MUCH about the details. My former colleagues meant it as a critique. My clients consider it their competitive advantage.
I'm a writer, editor, and proofreader who genuinely cares about getting it right — no rushed deliverables, no "close enough," and no going quiet when you have a follow-up question.
Most of my work centers on written content: blog posts, web copy, emails, and documents that need to feel clean, clear, and professional before they ever reach a client or customer. If something needs to be written well — or made better — that's exactly where I shine.
Have you been burned before by work that felt careless or thrown together? I'd love to be the difference — someone who actually takes the details seriously and delivers content you can be proud of. ✅
