Our staff Genealogist, Liz Sonnenberg, is an experienced professional who holds a Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University. In addition, she is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, adhering to its Code of Ethics and Professional Practices. Though she has particular expertise in the history of the American Midwest, New England, and French Canada, Liz can apply her research and documentation skills to a wide range of geographic locations, historical time periods, and record sets. She can help you investigate single research questions or develop multi-generational family trees.

Her work follows the Genealogical Proof Standard, which is the list of best practices created by the Board for Certification of Genealogists. It requires exhaustive research, source citations, analysis and correlation, resolution of conflicting evidence, and sound conclusions.

We love to transform your complicated family trees or disorganized information into attractive, user-friendly genealogy charts that fit into the front or back of your book. We've got it down to a science, and many of our clients find their customized charts easy to read and greatly valued by family members.
