Steve’s Family History & Genealogy Research Service

About Me

I have been fascinated with Genealogy since the early 1980’s. In my spare time, I worked to uncover the history of several families, including my own. Over the years, I have written family history books containing ancestor and descendant lines as well as digitally preserved photos, newspaper articles and important manuscripts like wills. Now that I am retired, I want to share my expertise helping other people explore their roots. I follow common genealogy research practices regarding sources and methods
