I’ve been researching family history for about 15 years, helping people uncover the stories behind the names in their family trees. My work focuses primarily on Wisconsin and Kentucky, though I’ve also researched records in several other states.

​

Over the years I’ve spent many hours in repositories such as the Wisconsin Vital Records Office and the Wisconsin State Historical Society. I’m comfortable working with original documents, navigating incomplete records, and coordinating translations for non-English materials when needed.

​

In addition to research, I’ve been retouching and restoring photographs for decades as part of my background in amateur photography. That experience now forms the foundation of the photo restoration services I offer through Vintage Vines Genealogy.

​

My husband and I both have deep Wisconsin roots, which has given me a personal appreciation for the history and records of this region. I approach every project with care, accuracy, and respect for the families whose stories I’m helping to preserve.

Whether you’re looking to solve a long-standing research question or restore a treasured family photograph, I’d be honored to help.
