Welcome!
We are Will and Dottie, passionate genealogists with decades of experience exploring the fascinating stories hidden in family histories. Our journey into genealogy began as a personal quest, fueled by curiosity about our own roots. Over the years, we have spent thousands of hours uncovering the details of our ancestry, gaining not only knowledge but also a deep appreciation for the connections that unite us across generations and borders.
Our dedication to the craft has led us to complete numerous courses in genealogy, including specialized training in genetic genealogy. Along the way, we’ve honed our skills, navigated countless challenges, and developed a toolkit of strategies to make sense of even the most complex genealogical puzzles.
Today, we find immense fulfillment in sharing what we’ve learned. Whether you are just starting your family history journey or tackling a tricky research question, we’re here to guide you. From records to DNA, from the USA and Canada to Europe and beyond, we’re committed to helping you uncover your family’s unique story and forge connections that will last a lifetime.
Let’s explore the past and build bridges to the future—together.
