Genealogy Research Services

I’m an experienced genealogical researcher based in central New Jersey. My own ancestry includes: early New England settlers (1630’s); late 19th century and early 20th century Irish, Scottish, and Italian immigrants; pre-Revolutionary War German immigrants in Pennsylvania; Quakers; and early Dutch settlers in New York.

I specialize in family history research in New Jersey and the Northeast. My research experience includes early New England records, colonial through 19th century eastern Pennsylvania records, 19th and 20th century immigration, and New York and New Jersey ancestry.

I am available for record retrievals at the NJ State Archives and other area repositories, and for family history research. For more information contact me at debbie@bringoutyerdead.com.
