About

“My Roots Genealogy sets the bar high for accuracy, academic integrity, and authentic documentation.
Their research is framed within historical and sociocultural contexts.” – Dana Gray, PhD

My Roots Genealogy provides professional genealogy research and education services.

Our organization was founded by cousins who are professionals with multiple graduate degrees and a combined 50 years of genealogy research experience. Over the years, they have hiked abandoned cemeteries, holed up in dusty courtroom records vaults, and spent untold hours researching libraries in-person and online. They share a commitment toward academic documentation verified (where possible) by genetic DNA results.

Our researchers use both traditional genealogy research strategies and tools, and DNA test results to develop and confirm ancestral trees and lineage for clients across the nation.

Whether our client wants to explore their family tree, find lost relatives for probate and legal reasons, or better understand their roots . . .

We offer services by the hour or project. For questions, please contact us.
