Our Approach

At Skeletons in the Closet, our focus is on helping individuals and families build a strong foundation for their genealogy journey. We specialize in getting started, organizing information, evaluating existing research, and creating practical research plans.


Our services are designed for those who want guidance, education, and direction rather than full-service genealogy research.

At this time, we do not offer:

Extensive family tree construction or multi-generation research projects

DNA analysis and interpretation sercvices

Ongoing professional research conducted on your behalf

Lineage society applications or proof packages

Probate, heir-search or legal genealogy services

Ready to move forward with confidence?

Let's turn your collection of names, notes, and records into a clear plan for your next steps.
