DISCOVER YOUR FAMILY HISTORY WITH COPPER MINE GENEALOGY
Family History Research & Brick Wall Busting
This is the heart of what I do. I dig into Southern US records, especially for ancestors who were poor, undocumented, or otherwise hard to trace, and build a well-documented, GPS-standard report you can trust and pass down. If you’ve hit a dead end, chances are I’ve seen it before.
Lineage Society Applications (SAR & DAR)
Want to join the Sons or Daughters of the American Revolution but can’t prove the connection? I specialize in tracking down the documentation lineage societies require, even when the paper trail seems to have vanished. No paper trail? I’ll do the research to build you a proof argument that holds up to registrar scrutiny.
DNA Testing and Analysis
My DNA testing and analysis services can help you uncover your ancestry and connect with distant relatives. I offer DNA testing guidance, including when it’s appropriate to take a specialized DNA test, and can often consult on how you can test the right person more cost-effectively than a scattershot approach.
Genealogy Workshops and Events
I regularly speak and host genealogy workshops around Georgia and virtually across the US. Find out more about my speaking schedule, and how to hire me as a speaker, here.
Free Genealogy Resources and Guides
My email subscribers receive free checklists, guides and other genealogical goodies from time to time. You can find some of these perks at my blog and YouTube Channel.
HOW IT WORKS
Ready to get started?
I believe in surprises in your family history, but not in business! This is my usual process for working with clients:
1. Contact me to set up free 30-minute consultation via phone or video chat
2. On the call, we will determine your research needs and if I’m the right genealogist for your project
3. I’ll get back to you in 1-2 business days with a scope of work, time frame, and estimate
4. I require a deposit up front (like I said, no surprises!) and once you get that to me I’ll begin working
5. I’ll keep you updated as your project progresses
6. As the final product, you will receive a thoroughly researched, well-documented report of my findings as well as suggestions on where to go from there
I also offer supplemental services like printed family trees, family history publications, and video walk-throughs to help you catch the attention of others in the family who may not be genealogy fanatics (yet)!
