Branch & Tree Genealogy Services

​

I became interested in my family’s history at an early age when exploring my paternal Cherokee heritage. After practicing real estate and probate law for over 25 years, I have embraced my passion for genealogy and transitioned into traditional and forensic genealogy. This has allowed me to combine by legal background with my passion for genealogy and allows me to utilize historical research and records analysis to solve mysteries of identity and heritage.

I specialize in research in Missouri, Oklahoma, Georgia, Ohio, Virginia and Kentucky as well as assisting others with uncovering their Cherokee heritage.
