Family Tree

A family tree will be created through online genealogical and archival research. I will acquire your ancestors available records, such as birth, death, immigration and military documents.

Upon completion of my research, Family Tree Maker is utilized to develop your own personal family tree. Additionally, I will include several other charts & reports on your relatives.

Samples of Immigration Documents

Passenger arrival lists are among the most highly prized records for documenting an ancestor’s immigration because of the significance of that move, lists were not kept for every ship and some have been lost. The forms used for passenger arrival records weren’t standardized until the twentieth century, earlier records will vary in content.

Early passenger lists typically include the name of the ship, the names of passengers, ages, ports of arrival and departure, date, country of origin and occupation.

20th Century lists include even more details, giving the town or country of origin, and the names of other family members, destination, physical description, and more

Types of Military Documents

In 1917 and 1918, approximately 24 million men living in the United States completed a World War I Draft Registration Card, which accounts for approximately 98 percent of men in the U.S. born between 1872-1900. The total U.S. population in 1917-1918 was about 100 million individuals, so close to 25 percent of the total population is represented in these records.

Out of the respect for my client, I believe that everyone’s family history is personal and confidential. As I proceed with research on your ancestors, a common bond begins to grow. Routinely, it leads me to feel a deep connection, as though I know them. It is for this reason that I do not publish ANY personal information or projects on my website. As a future client, I hope that you will understand and appreciate this courtesy.

I love archives, libraries and especially finding those historical records that family never knew existed. Contact me if interested in having your own personal family tree created.

I have known I was adopted since birth but never had a curiosity about my birth family.

When the state of New Jersey unsealed birth certificates I was 68 years old and realized it was about time I looked at my birth certificate. I got the certificate and it contained pertinent birth information including my birth mother’s name and her address at the time of my birth. I contacted Sharon who I knew worked on genealogy . What I had hoped at the time was that just maybe I would find out the type of life my birth mother had lived. I had been put on a path by this woman that gave me a full, happy and loving life (not without its peaks and valleys). I was hoping she had a good life.

Within a short period of time, Sharon was able to find a member of the family my birth mother had worked for at the time of my birth. She was able and more than willing to tell me what a lovely person she was and the type of life she had led. I was thrilled beyond belief that after 68 years and no knowledge of my history, Sharon was able to put this information in my lap.

Then came another turn! Through Sharon’s efforts she was able to find birth family members, starting with a 3rd cousin and then eventually turning up 12 first cousins! When a scheduled trip to Ireland was mentioned these family members (all of whom reside in Ireland) requested that we meet. At age 69 I walked into a room and was surrounded by family who I resembled. I cannot say how this experience has colored my world. I never in my wildest dreams envisioned find out the information I now have. I haven’t even begun to pursue the information that Sharon has uncovered about my birth father.

Her work and passion for this field is amazing. She is willing to take you on a path where you feel comfortable. It is never too late to pursue your history!

I have always been interested in my family’s history and ancestry, but never knew much about it. Sharon said that she could and would help me with this. I gave her my parent’s phone number and after a few conversations, she was off like a race car. She absolutely stunned us all! The information which she accumulated fills two binders.

My Mother’s ancestry she traced back to 1648 and was able to determine that the family came to America on the second ship after the Mayflower. I had known only through word of mouth that we had ancestors who were part of the American Revolution, and with her help, I was able to become a member of the Sons of the American Revolution.My Father’s history she was able to trace back to the 1500’s in Italy along with baptismal records and documentation of marriages and deaths. Unbeliev-ably amazing, what she has uncovered.

I will always be in her debt for doing this for me and my family. I can not thank her enough.

Don’t hesitate to contact her.

This gift was the hit of my mother’s 90th birthday party. Everyone wanted to check out the binder which remained open the entire evening. Friends and family took pictures of every single page. It was so much fun to see birth and engagement announcements of the family, especially since no one had ever seen them before. Additionally, there were several surprise newspaper articles, OMG! Word got out to those who were unable to attend the party, so we had it copied for them to enjoy.

A really great gift idea!
