Katherine has been working as a professional genealogist for private clients for 25+ years, specializing in solving complex questions about:

• pre-statehood settlers into the Northwest Territory (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin)
• 18th & 19th century American westward migration
• 19th century American immigration

She always begins a project with specific questions from the client.  Examples might be, “When and where was my great-great-grandfather born?” or “Who were the parents of my great-grandfather?”

Once the client has identified the specific question(s) to be researched, Katherine will request copies of all documentation acquired to date, and formulate a research plan.  The client will have full control over how many hours are spent on his/her project, and will be kept informed of progress along the way.

To schedule an initial consultation, please fill in the form below and Katherine will contact you via email or phone regarding next steps.

Rates begin at $115/hour, and the client sets the number of hours at the start of the project (which can be completed in multiple phases, if requested). Download a sample of Katherine’s contract here.

Requests for free research assistance will not receive a reply.
