Since 2011, I have been helping clients research their family history in Northwest Pennsylvania (Erie, Crawford, Venango, Jefferson, Indiana, Mercer, and Warren counties) and Western New York (Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties); however, I am currently not accepting new research projects.

In addition to my work at the HHC, I, as part of the Stone House Historical Research team, assist the U.S. Army with their repatriation efforts to account for all soldiers lost in past wars.
