The links are checked for safety and are compiled here for finding free genealogy. This page has GOOGLE translate and you can click to read it in any language. see the translate button. You can also search the site for any key word(s) for topics of genealogy and genetic genealogy. It also has a few guest posts and some from old websites for various family histories. I have helped several dozen families and only post what those wish. All my work remains confidential unless all wish to share, so if you don’t see something here it is likely remaining private.
I love all people’s ancestors and I love people’s stories of their ancestors. Ancestors are to be remembered and shared and hopefully sharing will move the stories and memories into the future for posterity. My husband was talking about my work at one point and said he thought my love of people reached hearts – I can listen to family stories all day long – anyone’s.
But you are American?
Yes, sort of. American Canadian Hong Konger. And more than half my work is outside of America and the largest part of that is Canadian research. Followed by English, Scottish and going east.
Yes, this page is for you. All those who attended our first DNA for genealogy lesson at Main and Danforth, Toronto or just have happened upon this page. Ask questions through the comments. So I made this page to make sure you can reach out and I can answer back.
I AM here for you and you and you too.

Loads and loads of Canadian newspapers and of course the cross border coverage of stories remains today as in-depth as it has been since the border skirmishes – which border skirmishes you ask?

“…The mathematics of descent has fascinated many people. “If we could go back and live again in all of our two hundred and fifty million arithmetical ancestors of the eleventh century,” Henry Adams wrote in 1904 of those with Norman-English blood, “we should find ourselves doing many surprising things, but among the rest we should certainly be ploughing most of the fields of the Contentin and Calva-dos; going to mass in every parish church in Normandy; rendering military service to every lord, spiritual or temporal, in all this region; and helping to build the Abbey Church at Mont-Saint-Michel.” And, more recently, the so-ciobiologist Edward 0. Wilson has written, “The gene pool from which one modern Briton has emerged spreads over Europe, to North Africa, the Middle East, and beyond. The individual is an evanescent combination of genes drawn from this pool, one whose hereditary material will soon be dissolved back into it.”…”
