For many in the Irish Diaspora, family trees aren’t just names on a page, they are an identity. Too often, those trees are built on the shaky ground of incorrect branches and unverified hints.
My journey into genealogy began with a simple curiosity that evolved into a lifelong passion for uncovering the stories, journeys and experiences that define us. With an inquisitive mind and a commitment to ‘outside-the-box’ thinking, I help break through the genealogical brick walls that often leave families overwhelmed.
My name is Annie, and I founded ForeverDear to help bridge the gap between curiosity and genealogical truth. With a focus on Irish records from the mid-19th century and a meticulous approach to verification, I help clients navigate the complexities of their family history with confidence.
My goal isn’t just to find ancestors; it’s to ensure the ancestors you find are actually yours.
Why Work With Me?
- Verification: All sources are made clear for every record used in my research, to ensure your paper trail aligns with your heritage, I help you navigate your DNA results – reaching out to matches where necessary to confirm ancestral connections.
- Open & Collaborative Communication: I believe the best research is a partnership. I am a friendly, accessible listener who keeps the lines of communication open throughout the process. Often, the key to a “brick wall” is hidden in a family story you’ve heard a thousand times. I’m here to listen to those clues and keep you updated every step of the way.
- Tangible Results: You receive a structured ‘audit’ report or a beautiful PDF Heritage Book to ensure your family’s story is preserved.
