I am available to do research for you after I receive your ck.


My fee is hourly with out of pocket expenses such as postage, xeroxing and stationery added to the bill. I must charge for the time spent regardless of the research results. I reside in center city. Minimum initial ck. required. I work in Philadelphia.

Please state the number of hours you want me to work and enclose a check covering the total number of hours in advance. Be aware that a typed report will require 30 minutes on a small job. Xeroxes of the material will be sent to you if conditions warrant and authorities permit. Each copy will note the page number and the source volume. Kindly state if you do not want copies.

Be as specific and exacting as possible in explaining your needs. The more information I have about your requirements, the easier my work. Shall I write or call collect if problems develop? If so, provide a day and a night phone number.

Please supply race [black, white, etc.] religion and ethnic origin. Nicknames and name spelling variations will help me. If the name is pronounced differently than spelled please provide correct pronunciation.

After completing my B. A., I did further graduate work in the social sciences. I have over thirty years experience as a professional genealogical researcher. I am the founder of the Philadelphia Jewish Genealogical Society. My membership in the Genealogical Society of PA [GSP]is current.

I have lectured, presented genealogical workshops and seminars. My genealogical articles have been published in numerous genealogical periodicals. Listed in Who's Who in the East 1999-2000. Listed in Who's Who in America 2000-2003.
