Want to pick my brain to find out what I've learned in five years of doing lookups? Read My Blog.

So, what's ChicagoGenealogy.com all about? I started this site in 2003 as an experiment to see if anyone would like my help with "quick, affordable lookups" in the Chicago area (and the answer was a resounding "Yes") and it has evolved into a place where I can share what I learn about researching Chicago ancestors.

I still do research at the local Family History Center a few days a week, but I now spend time each day working with my husband and our technical co-founder on a new site for lookups—Genlighten.com—and whenever I find a free moment, well, I'm hopelessly enamoured with learning to play the fiddle.

If you have questions about the site or the research that I offer, feel free to email me.
