LOOKING FOR YOUR FAMILY HISTORY AND THINK YOU NEED SOME HELP?

I do on-site research (whether limited or extensive) in repositories in New York City and the New York area.

I use my training as a librarian (M.L.S. 2007, with certificate in Archives and Records Management) to efficiently and effectively search for, and find, your kin. I have been solving genealogical mysteries since 1999.

Services
  • I regularly do research in all five boroughs of New York City: Manhattan [New York], Brooklyn [Kings], Queens, Bronx, Staten Island [Richmond]). I do research at places like the Municipal Archives, National Archives, New York Public Library, Surrogate's Courts, County Clerks, and so on.
  • I also do research in areas adjacent to New York City, such as Nassau County [Long Island], Westchester County, and northeast New Jersey, as well as at the New Jersey State Archives in Trenton.
  • I make inventive use of the whole range of international resources available in New York, for projects concerning people who were not New Yorkers or New Jerseyites. In this regard, the areas and time periods I have the most experience with are:
    • Other parts of the United States: nineteenth to twenty-first centuries
    • Canada: eighteenth to twentieth centuries (particularly Ontario and Nova Scotia)
    • England: eighteenth to twentieth centuries
    • Ireland: nineteenth to twentieth centuries
    • Sweden: seventeenth to nineteenth centuries
    • The Principality of Montbéliard (France): seventeenth to nineteenth centuries
My research results are presented to you along with copies of any relevant documents in scrupulously detailed, thoroughly explained, properly cited reports. My rate is $25/hr with a minimum of 2hrs ($50) retainer, paid in advance.

Please email me (Victoria Boutilier) with as much of the following information as you have. This information helps me find out whether I can help you, and how much time the preparation of a research strategy will take.
  • The name(s) of the person(s) you are looking for and what you know about them already
  • What it is you want to find about these person(s)
  • Dates (approximate or actual) they lived and where they lived, and/or where and when the event you wish to find out more about  occurred
  • What you have already looked at and what those documents say
