If you need to prove your Canadian lineage by descent, getting your genealogy records in order is the first step.
Services: What I will do for you
1. Professional Genealogy Research:
I’m Your Personal Sherlock Holmes for Tracking Down the Genealogy Records You Need.
I will search for and organise the exact genealogical records you need to prove your direct line of descent from a Canadian ancestor, and find the evidence that the ancestor was Canadian (e.g. baptismal/birth records, marriage, death, census records, and other relevant evidence).
You ever get tired of scrolling through endless microfilm rolls looking for the missing piece? I don’t – Let me take that on for you.
Priced by the hour, in blocks so you always have control and transparency every step of the way.
2. Your Personal Genealogist-On-Call: You can do the research yourself, but you don’t have to do it alone. You have a professional in your corner every step of the way.
Don’t just depend on unreliable advice from some stranger in a facebook group or reddit thread.
Get expert guidance from a trusted professional who has over 25 years of experience.
I will provide you expert answers to any questions you have and help you solve any challenges you face in your genealogy search.
Send me questions any time day or night, and I will give you a well-researched, professional answer within 1-3 business days (depending on complexity of the request).
I will also give you a clear and concise roadmap to finding the records you need and a tracking sheet to mark your progress.
There are two options for this service:
Lite : $100/month — up to three questions per month.

The No-Stone-Unturned Guarantee
Finding historical records is detective work, not a vending machine. Sometimes a document was never created. Sometimes the only copy burned in a courthouse fire in 1892. Sometimes a library takes six months to respond to an access request — and I have no more control over that than you do.
What I can guarantee is this:
You will always receive a complete, documented account of every result — positive, negative, or indirect. No mystery bills, no disappearing acts. If I hit a wall that makes further searching futile, I'll tell you before you spend another dollar.
You're hiring expert time and expert eyes on real documents. That's what you're paying for — and that's exactly what you'll get.
Important to note…
I do not provide any legal representation, and nothing in my offering constitutes legal advice or representation. I do not provide advice nor representation for citizenship applications or procedures.
I am a professional genealogist and historical documents researcher. I help you get and understand the genealogy records you need. It’s what I do, and I do it well.
What I am not (and why that’s good news for you)…
I am not an immigration consultant nor lawyer. And most people pursuing citizenship by descent right now probably don’t require the legal services of an immigration professional.
Canadian citizenship under Bill C-3 (in force December 2025) is not strictly speaking an immigration matter. It is the formal recognition of citizenship potentially already inherited — i.e. Canadian ancestry that simply needs to be demonstrated through clear genealogical evidence.
Thus the work needed is fundamentally genealogical: locating the right historical records, interpreting them correctly, and compiling a coherent packet of historical documentation that meets professional genealogical standards.
And this is simply not what immigration lawyers and consultants are trained to do. Their expertise lies in immigration and naturalisation matters, with legal disputes, and with filling out legal applications and forms.
But when it comes to paleographic transcription, archival research, historical documents in Latin, French, Ukrainian, Italian, or Gaelic, or tracing an ancestral line through pre-Confederation parish registers, most of them are neither equipped nor trained for that kind of work. They usually hire out that work to a professional genealogist like myself. You would be paying a premium for expertise that doesn't match the problem.
But when it comes to decades of experience in historical research and genealogical records? That is where I operate.
What I am…
I am a professionally trained researcher and historian, with 25+ years experience specialising in tracing, analysing, and interpreting historical and genealogical documents, and fluent in reading and translating historical French, Latin, and Italian.
I have personally gone through this process — for myself and my family — and have assisted others in recovering, interpreting, and compiling the vital records and genealogical evidence necessary to establish clear, demonstrable proof for their cases.
Obviously, neither I nor anyone else can guarantee a favourable legal outcome in life.
What I can guarantee is rigorous, expert work: historical documents located, correctly interpreted, and clearly presented — so that when the time comes, you can move forward confidently with your Genealogical proof of Canadian ancestry and lineage.
