Every family has a story worth telling — but tracking it down takes time, expertise, and access to records that are often behind pay walls. That's where I come in. I'm Dana Darby, a professional genealogist offering research services to help you trace your ancestry, break through brick walls in your family tree, and preserve your family's history in a form you and future generations can treasure.
Welcome to Family Roots Revealed
What I Do
Trace a specific family line back as far as records allow
Confirm or investigate family stories and legends (Was great-grandpa a civil war hero? Let's find out.)
Break through a genealogical "brick wall" you've been stuck on
Research a specific ancestor's life in depth, including military service, immigration, land ownership, and more
Transcribe old handwritten documents or letters so you can uncover interesting or important family history
Every project starts with a conversation about what you're hoping to learn, so the research stays focused on what matters most to you.
Your Research, Delivered Your Way
When the research is complete, you'll receive a clear, well-organized written report of the findings. This is the heart of what I deliver, and it's included with every project.
