Busting Through Those Brick Walls

  • BUSTING THROUGH BRICK WALLS
    • Using my Library and Information Science background, I have knowledge, experience, and access to various databases and archives that may help you get through these brick walls you are experiencing

Analyzing Your DNA Results

  • ANALYZING YOUR DNA RESULTS (Kinship Determination)
    • You have your results, but who are all these matches, and how are you related to them? What does it mean to have 35% (etc) of Nigerian Ancestry? As a certified DNA Genealogist, I can help answer and clarify your questions about your DNA results, your matches, and the centimorgans and segments that show next to their names.

Digital Preservation & Management

ARCHIVAL MANAGEMENT

  • Evaluations: Providing guidance and support on implementing strategies, policies, and plans for the long-term preservation of digital materials.
  • Assessments of existing digital collections and identifying preservation risks and priorities, as well as development and documentation of workflows and processes to ensure the ongoing growth of your projects.
  • Digitization: of family records such as photographs, maps, obituaries, vital records, letters, and diaries.
  • Digital Asset Management: organize and manage digital materials to ensure that your digital records are easy to locate and retrieve when needed, including the development of finding aids and metadata.

After spending 20 years researching my own family history and helping many others, I decided to test my knowledge and experience by becoming a professional Genealogist.

While there are no requirements for becoming a Genealogist, my certifications are a way to show that my research, services, and knowledge has been and is consistently evaluated, and assessed by a board of my peers on an ongoing basis to ensure quality and ethics are always adhered to.

When you work with me in any capacity, you can be, rest assured that there is value and quality in all that I have to offer.
