Even partial information can be a powerful starting point. Richard’s expertise lies in piecing together fragmented histories and restoring forgotten legacies. If you’re unsure where to begin, he can guide you through a discovery process step by step.

We offer a variety of educational programs for students, teachers, and community members. Our programs include workshops, seminars, and field trips that provide hands-on learning experiences and promote genealogy awareness.

We believe that collaboration is key to achieving our mission. We work closely with local organizations, businesses, and government agencies to promote education and commemoration of our Ancestors.
