Reconnecting the diaspora to its roots, one story at a time.<\/h2>\n

Tracing our African Diaspora and Native American roots takes patience and a lot of digging, but the stories we uncover make it all worthwhile. Because this work is detailed and time-intensive, my project pricing reflects the care it takes to find those hidden records and to make sure your family history is preserved accurately for future generations.\u00a0 I love helping people discover their ancestors and the connections that link past and present family members. Each month, I host free workshops at my home church in Atlanta where the community can come together to learn and share. For those who want a more personal experience, I also offer one-on-one sessions with individuals and families.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n Consultation<\/a><\/p>\n

We begin with a 30-minute consultation to understand each client\u2019s research goals. During this session, any family documents or prior research provided will be reviewed (as long as they are concise). If records or recordings are extensive, a separate hourly fee will apply. Within 48 hours, clients receive a written research plan outlining recommended baseline exploration methods and next steps.<\/p>\n

Research<\/a><\/p>\n

Projects involving African Diaspora and Native American\/Indigenous ancestors often require more intensive research due to incomplete or missing public records. This may involve correlating conflicting evidence, analyzing fragmented resources, and interpreting complex findings.<\/p>\n

This work may include tracing ancestors to African tribes, Native American
villages, royal lineages, or other global origins dating back to the 15th century and earlier.<\/p>\n

Clients receive a comprehensive research reports including a narrative summary, charts, timelines, maps, and pedigree charts or online family group sheets. Recommendations for further research,\u00a0 along with discussion of unanswered questions, limitations, and suggested next phases. A review session is held in person or virtually.<\/p>\n
