Ask a Genealogy Question

Submit your genealogy question using the form below. Please include names, dates, places, and what you’ve already checked. The more detail you share, the better I can understand what you’re looking for, and hopefully point you in the right direction. I read every question that comes in, and I answer every one. All responses are private and shared only with you. Some questions take longer than others, depending on the topic and the level of research required.

Please include names, dates, places, and what you’ve already checked.

I also enjoy collecting old postcards from around the world. If you have some tucked away in a box or a closet that you’d like to pass along, I’d be glad to give them a good home—and I’ll be happy to cover the shipping. Just mention it in your message, and I’ll send you my mailing address.


Some genealogy questions are answered in depth on my Patreon-exclusive Q&A podcast (with permission). These are longer, more detailed discussions available to supporters.
