Introduction: Genealogy is my life's passion. I have found over 100,000 relatives of my own personally, and millions for persons I have helped with their families. I was trained by professionals at the St. Louis Genealogical Society, and eventually became a teacher myself, as well as a Life Member of the organization. I find teasing out the clues to be very satisfying. Over the years I have become very adept at trying unusual ways of solving a "brick wall". Whether you want classes from me so you can do this yourself, just need an idea of what to look at next, need help with a hard area (I do work in Latin, French and German), want a brick wall cracked, or want someone to do this for you, I am here.

Working with Family Hunt was a great experience! Mary is a true professional who really knows her stuff! I really learned a lot from our conversations and I felt her pricing was fair. Communication was clear and she really helped me get going in the right direction. Not only did I receive a clear and informative report, but the documentation to back it up. I will definitely be giving her a call in the future when I hit another brick wall!

As an adoptee and new recipient of DNA results, I encountered numerous road blocks. I am extremely grateful to Mary for all the mysteries she solved. Due to her dedication in my "story" I am proud to say that I now have contact with birth family. She is a true professional that kept me updated on a regular basis with her discoveries. I was not just provided names/dates of family, but the documentation and proof of how we are connected. She was not just my personal researcher, but also an amazing teacher. She provided with tools and hints to be able to continue this family search on my own. Her prices are very reasonable, and never felt i was being over-priced. I highly recommend her services. You can tell she is extremely passionate in what she does.
