my history

who am I?

After retiring from running my family’s insurance agency, I dove back into my long-standing love: genealogy. Welcome to Ancestry Avenue, where I combine that passion with personalized research services to help you explore your family history. For over three decades, I have pieced together the stories of my own family tree. Now, I am excited to help you discover your own ancestral heritage.

As a member of the Connecticut Society of Genealogists, Inc. and the Association of Professional Genealogists, I am committed to upholding professional standards and delivering high-quality genealogical research services. My recent completion of the Genealogical Principles course at Boston University further enhances my expertise in the field.

Families, their histories, and tales have always fascinated me. I invite you to reach out to me to explore the stories that shaped you. As the old saying goes, “A story unshared is a memory forgotten.”
