Dutch Root, family history research

I've been doing family tree research for well over a decade. I've done family trees for friends, just for fun. I've answered questions, found lost family branches, and even helped a friend find his birth father. I've also researched the family trees of the people who owned my house, The Parsonage Inn, and learned a lot about their lives in my home. 

When I have free time, I love to do historical research, especially if someone has a need to know. 

​Thus, this is what Dutch Root is for.

Dutch Root is my consultancy for helping people do genealogical research and explore their family trees. 

​Each of us comes from somewhere, and everyone had parents. Everyone has a story, and our parents' stories are part of our story. Yet so often, stories get lost or forgotten. ​Knowing our stories not only informs who we become, it also becomes a legacy we can pass along to future generations. 
There's at least four ways Dutch Root can help: 


Family Tree Research
