How I can help

Some projects begin with a question and a large amount of information to work through.

I provide project-based research support for individuals, writers and creative professionals who need help finding, organizing and making sense of information. That may involve exploring historical or genealogical records, reviewing books and reference materials, building timelines or family trees, tracing sources, or gathering background information around a particular subject.

I can work independently on a focused research question or become part of a larger project, helping transform scattered information into something organized, useful and ready to move forward.

Past work has included research for published writing projects, genealogical and family-tree research, historical research, reference-material review, source organization and background research.
