Research Services

I will do research in Posey, Vanderburgh and Warrick counties in Indiana, as well as surrounding counties. I am currently accepting clients.

I have been doing genealogical research on my own family since 1974. I am very well acquainted with the published and non-published materials available in the counties in which I advertise. I have a lot of experience searching cemeteries, courthouses, local libraries, historical societies, and online databases.

Please contact me for more information.
