Document Retrieval
I have access to repositories in Miami, Florida, and the State of New Jersey
Document Retrieval Services are for individuals that need single document look-ups, such as birth, marriage, probate records, or published books and manuscripts only located in a particular area. It is also useful for photocopy services for records at repositories in my local area. This service is ideal for distance researchers who know exactly what they need but are not local and are unable to retrieve the record digitally. Cemetery photography is also available upon request.

Testimonial
"My three times great grandfather was born out of wedlock in 1871. As a result, I have never been able to build back this part of my family tree, until one day, I got a DNA match on Ancestry. Elizabeth helped research this family line and was able to narrow down the probable father through DNA analysis and genealogical records."
