Your ancestors may have arrived in America with the great waves of immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Or they may have emigrated before the Civil War. While there are specific strategies for each ethnic group, there is also a systematic process that applies to any search. I will guide you through each step of the process with examples. FInd out about your immigrant ancestors and tell their story!

She specializes in immigrant ancestors to New England. She serves on the board of the Association of Professional Genealogists and is a proud member of the Merrimack Valley chapter. She is eternally grateful that her husband’s French-Canadian Furkey ancestors changed their name back to Fortier.
