Charcoal drawing of Mary Ann"Midwest Ancestor Research was very helpful!  They did a Starter Session with my mom and got her going on researching her father’s family ancestry.  It’s fun to see her ambitious search and sense of satisfaction in finding out more about the people she’s looking for.  Thank you, Mary & Sheila!

"Sheila and Mary did a fast and accurate job in looking for my family. They were able to find obituaries and other information that helped me pin down a mysterious ancestor. It would have taken me a great deal of time and money to travel to Minneapolis and Wisconsin to do the research myself. They were very professional and responsive. I highly recommend their service."

"Dear Sheila
"Fantastic news! We are so impressed with your results in such a short time. Well done! Well done!
Received your letter in this morning's post (and to prove it here is a photo of one very satisfied customer)
Have read every word several times. You are so right about the mobility of the family, but that was more common at the time wasn't it?
"It was great to see the licence application and the licence itself, and to hear where you think it may lead to. Interesting that Henry and Anna witnessed the ceremony but no mention of Ludvig's parents. Do you think Bertha's parents were living in Minneapolis? or could they have just been visiting? I was fascinated to see that Louis was born in Chicago! My didn't they get around. . . . I shall have no problem in recommending Midwest Ancestor Research to anyone I come across here in the North West of England."
