With over 20 years experience in research, with family research as her specialty, Denise is well-equipped to solve your most pressing research problem. She have served as VP/Education Coordinator/Conference Planner for the Iowa Genealogical Society and is currently the President of her local genealogical society. For the past six years, Denise has served as MW Regional Coordinator of the Association of Personal Historians (www.personalhistorians.org), having published numerous personal history compilations; she has even dabbled in videography. “Brick-wall” solutions is her main forte; she is proud to have solved two out of two adoption projects. Her past experience has included a two-year stint with Ancestry.com, via their since-defunct ExpertConnect program. Denise's current projects include ongoing assistance to an Air Force Museum curator from the UK in his endeavor to find alive-and-well family members of fallen US airmen from WWII, in his attempt to memorialize each and every one. You’ll find no initials behind her name; she has had no need to invest in expensive and extensive certification programs. Her strong midwestern work ethic has served her quite well over the years; for her ever-growing “Testimonials” list, please visit her web site, where you’ll also find some intriguing free forms and freebies to assist you in your personal research endeavors. Research and road trips are Denise's two greatest passions!
