As a genealogist, family historian, researcher, and published author of family history books, I am continually amazed by where my clients' ancestral journeys will take me and what I will discover about each family I research. The greatest satisfaction in my research is creating a unique family history book for my clients. With each published book, I have found that my clients' families now have a family tome of their family's ancestral journey. As a personal reward for my work, I get the great pleasure of using my God-given gifts to create art from my published books and other creative ideas.
