Every family tree has one - a genealogy nut, that is. After 12 years of serious research on over 300 families, I still haven't gotten my fill of seeking the answers, so compelling to family historians. I never will. With every uncovered secret, at least two more questions develop. That's the beauty of it all. Suffice it to say, I'm in it for the long haul. I am committed to genealogy and the development of lots and lots of research tools designed to make family history resources more accessible to genealogy nuts like you and me.

So, what can I do for you?
  • Consider my books for inclusion in your library. They are all soft-bound and economically priced for those of us, who still try to convince our friends and family that genealogy is "just a hobby". They're also all indexed and come with helpful tips on how to further your research. The indices for all of my books are included on the Books page. Take a look and see if you find a familiar name.
  • Consider me for researching your family history. Well, okay, I admit it. I gave up pretending that genealogy was "just a hobby" a very long time ago. I've invested thousands of dollars in resources that have been very useful to me through the years. I'm also within 1/2 hour of three of the best genealogical libraries in the State of Missouri. These resources, persistence, and a lot of ingenuity learned over 12 years of researching my own family tree, will get you from zero to sixty in no time. I charge just $15.00 per hour. E-mail me if you think that I can help you in this manner.
  • Consider my equipment for your own self-publishing needs. As publishers go, I'm a small fry. But, if you've got a volume of genealogy-related material that you need copied and prepared economically, I understand the dilemma. E-mail me and tell me what you need to get the job done.
  • Consider my website for advertising your self-published volumes. Nothing sells better than the web. The more quality resources I can make available to fellow genealogists, the better I can serve my customers. Use that trusty e-mail button.
