I don't consider myself a writer, but seeing this topic and hearing your presentation, I am thinking more about writing about my ancestors more seriously.

Aryn is awesome! Her research is very thorough and her explanations are clear and interesting. She has an obvious passion for genealogy as her excitement for discoveries in my family history was as high as mine. She found some really amazing stuff that I never knew. Truly a fantastic experience and I have already referred her to multiple friends. ~ Ryan S.
Aryn is incredible! My husband does not know his family history so as a surprise, I contacted her for researching. I am so pleased with the results. She worked quickly and with only 8 hours to work with she compiled an extensive family history.
I will be contacting her again for my own family history.
I couldn't be happier. ~ Debbie B.
Aryn has been incredibly instrumental in helping us unravel a long lost family secret. Aryn is meticulous, thorough, and really knows her stuff. Going down that rabbit hole of the family tree can be daunting and what would take me months of searching, Aryn was able to put together the information for us in a fraction of the time. It's been an incredible and moving experience learning more about our family and I so appreciate what she has done to simplify the experience for us and to connect us with family and our fascinating histories. I absolutely recommend her! ~ Karole F.
Aryn was awesome to work with and her research is very thorough! She was able to find pictures of my Grandma as a child and the house that my distance relatives used to live in. 10/10 recommend. ~ Meghan O.
