Welcome to Heritage Discovered Genealogy Research Services
Heritage Discovered is based in San Francisco with service throughout the United States. With 20 years of experience in genealogy research, I pride myself on having a modern, accessible approach to genealogy – no filtering or glossing over the past here! Stop wondering about your family tree and begin discovering.
What would it feel like to discover what your family members’ lives were like and see themes through the generations? Did you face similar experiences? What did they go through for you to be where you are today?
My mission is to help people understand their present by discovering their family's past. I want you to feel the joy of connecting to your ancestors. With over 20 years of experience, my areas of specialty include: Hawaii, New England, and Quebec.
A true introvert, expert-level list-maker, and a true X-phile (nerd alert!), I help people get answers quickly without having to spend hours of their own time searching. I offer both “Done For You Services” as well as “Done with You Services.”
