What people are saying about Lindsey’s Histories:
Lindsey was so incredibly helpful to me in finding out more about my 2nd great grandparents who emigrated to PA from Poland. I now know their parents names and have more information about where they lived, when they got here, and have some additional relations to be able to investigate further! I also have documents to support these new findings now too! I am so happy to finally have more info on this branch of my tree! I’m so glad I reached out to Lindsey for help! -Amy
Very clear and useful presentation for the Allen County Public Library – Genealogy division, on finding difficult to find census records. I’ve used what I learned to solve some problems and find missing census records in my family tree. Thanks, Lindsey! -Sally
Lindsey is an awesome genealogist! She helped me focus my questions and proposed a detailed research plan. She discovered some very interesting documents that answered important questions about my family history. Her final report was very well organized and well written. I look forward to working with her again. -David
