EXPERIENCE
I started researching my own family tree at age 9
years.
I have been conducting research for clients
professionally since 2006.
Testimonials
“I was very impressed with the research
Michael performed for me at the Maryland
State Archives. He was able to complete the research quickly and the report he
wrote for me was very professional and
informative. I would definitely recommend his services to others.”
-- C. A., Greater New York City Area
Testimonials“… I found him to be a true professional in
every respect. Many time over the years that I
had the pleasure to work with Mike, he went
above and beyond that which was
expected and always provided me with a
quality product and excellent results.
I have recommended him to others and would continue to do so.”
-- B. C., Palm Beach, Florida
Testimonials
“... His work has been very thorough and his
expertise in the field of genealogy coupled with
Maryland history has been top-rate. His reports
are well written and conclusions well documented. I’d highly recommend Michael for similar work in this area. I’ve been very
pleased with the results of his work and have found
him to be a true professional.”-- A. G., Columbia, Maryland

Testimonials“…His knowledge of African American genealogical

were searching for. He also explained ways to avoid
