Find your family.
Find the answers.
I started by tracing my own family, and I did not stop where most services do. The paper trail for African American families is supposed to go cold at 1870. It does not have to. Freedmen's Bureau records, church archives, and the Great Migration all leave a trail past that wall, when you know where to look.
Now I do the same for clients: mapping generations, finding people who do not want to be found, and quietly checking who you are about to hire or rent to. Whatever the question, the standard is the same, every finding gets a source.
