Member, National Genealogical Society and Association of Professional Genealogists
certificate in genealogical research, Boston university

My name is Tonya, and I am an historical archaeologist by training with passions for genealogical research and historic preservation. My research focuses on the Southeastern United States, and my areas of expertise include early Alabama statehood, Southeastern Native American history (especially Cherokee and Chickasaw), European/American settlement in the Southeast, and archaeological research. I have worked with clients of diverse backgrounds including European, Native American, and African American ancestry. I have worked with the TLC television series Who Do You Think You Are?, as well as clients seeking to answer questions about their own families.
Contact me and let me help you uncover your family's history!
