Reviews & Testimonials

“Thank you, Joelle, for finding the missing limbs in my family tree. I didn’t realize how different spellings could be when I followed the wrong tree online. I put everything on a big chart and gave copies to everyone in the family. It raised a lot of excitement last Christmas.” — Marjorie Venchekitz, Cincinnati, OH

“We are so happy that Joelle could find out so much about our family from the six birth certificates we provided. They led to my 8th great-grandfather who arrived in Massachusetts in 1698 from Ireland, and later settled in Michigan. Great work and great person to work with.” — J. & R. Cope, San Diego, CA

“I highly recommend Joelle Steele for her expert research that uncovered my ancestry all the way back to 1540 London, England. I had never been able to find anything beyond my great-great-great-grandfather who was born in Cornwall in 1831. Joelle also added three generations of siblings to my tree along with other grandparents who I hadn’t been able to find either. She was easy to work with and she was very reasonably priced.” — Erik Teague, Denver, CO

“I couldn’t find any of my ancestors until I hired Joelle to help me. She traced my lineage back to the late 1700s in Allentown, Pennsylvania on one side, and to 1778 in Richmond, Virginia on the other side. More than 150 ancestors discovered, some who were well-known in their time.” — Derek Cooper, Clifton, NJ

“Thanks, Ms. Steele. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the results of your ancestry tracing. It’s great to know the real stories behind the lives of my ancestors instead of all the half-truths I grew up hearing. You were right when you said the real stories are so much better than family lore.” — Bethany Crisp, Buffalo, NY

“I don’t know how you did it, but you did! Twelve generations of my family on both sides now identified with only one branch yet to be found. And I have faith that you’ll find that branch one of these days.” — Jeff Walters, Bronx, NY

“Thank you so much, Joelle. Only one ancestor unaccounted for. I would never have believed it was possible to go back so far in my family tree and find out so much about the people in it, especially when most of them came from Germany and Austria, and I don’t speak the language there.” — Dianne Sholtz, Cleveland, OH
