Testimonials:
"I happened upon Kristin’s website and blog while doing some family research online.
I enjoyed reading her blog posts so much that I read her entire archive in one sitting!
I felt compelled to reach out to Kristin to tell her how much I enjoyed her blog and shared my “brick wall” ancestry story with her.
I have never consulted with a professional researcher before and I am so glad I did!
Kristin helped me to break down my brick wall and gave me insights I had never thought of before. I thought I was pretty good at researching but Kristin has so much knowledge she literally helped me to reframe my research (and mindset) in new ways and now I can continue on looking from a whole new perspective. I would never have pursued these new leads if Kristin had not been involved and unlocked them for me.
Not only is Kristin really knowledgeable, it’s immediately apparent that she has a genuine love and passion for family research, even when it’s not her own family! She’s kind and empathic and lovely to interact with. (And boy, she works quickly!)
Do yourself a favor and contact Kristin. I can’t wait to share my new learnings with my family! Had I not worked with Kristin I would still be pursuing leads that were never going to go anywhere.
By the way, Kristin was also the First Prize winner of Ancestry.com’s Pro Genealogist Scholarship Program. https://www.progenealogists.com/scholarship. Pretty cool!

"Given that I was an adopted child, with no understanding of my ancestors past my birth parents, your research has opened a whole new perspective and has done so with the certainty that only professional research can provide."
