Hire the Best Wordperfect Specialists
in the United States

I have been providing Genealogical Research for over 25 years, fulfilling research requests independently and for local (Connecticut) museums and historical societies. I specialize in Connecticut genealogy, especially the heritage of New Milford’s African Americans, and in 2013 compiled "New Milford, Connecticut’s African Americans in the American Civil War (1861 - 1865)," a 2014 Connecticut Society of Genealogists’ Literary Award winner. In 2020, I translated and indexed, "New Milford, Connecticut, Records of Births, Marriages and Deaths: Volumes H-K -- 1879-1902 (with every name index)." Utilizing my research, organizing, writing and editing skills, I worked on two titles for Arcadia Publishing’s Images of America series: Danbury and New Milford Revisited. For two years I was a provider for Ancestry.com’s Expert Connect and was a RAOGK (Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness) volunteer.
