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.”

Testimonials
“…His knowledge of African American genealogical research is

resources, no matter what they were searching for. He also
explained ways to avoid 'brick walls' in research, and gave many
helpful tips for doing the most thorough research possible. I

Members of our genealogy group were amazed to learn about the vast array of online resources currently available. Equally valuable was Michael’s commentary on the quality, geographic scope, ease of search, and research limitations of each of the websites. I would highly recommend this timely, comprehensive, and informative presentation.” -- Alice Harris, AAHGS-Central Maryland Chapter, Columbia, Md.
