Along with the free genealogy lookups I offer each week, you’re always welcome to send in a question or share the story of a hard-to-find ancestor. If you’re feeling stuck in your research, you’re not alone. I’ve been there many times myself. That’s what led me to create the Genealogy Gold Q&A Podcast. It’s a relaxed series where I answer questions from people who are deeply invested in their family history. Whether you’re dealing with a missing record, a confusing DNA result, or a mystery ancestor that just won’t fit anywhere, I’m here to help. Send your question anytime, and I’ll do my best to help you move forward.

Submit your question, and let’s see where the journey takes you.

Happy Searching!
