M.A.T.R. Researching



 
I have finally listened to all the friends, family and some of the people I have already done research for and created a website to offer my researching skills for a fee.


I am offering my skills is genealogical and/or military research. The website is:

Additional Note: The way I came up with the name 'M.A.T.R. Researching' is by wanting to acknowledge the two people that started my genealogical and military researching.
'M.A.' are the initials of my grandmother - in response to her death in January 1998 I began my genealogical research.
'T.R.' are the initials of my great-grandfather who is the very first person I undertook military research for.
