Hi Lea Ann, Yes, I too have used Matt Ellsworth and he is fantastic! You know up front that his fee is $20.00 payable if he finds what he is looking for. As you said, he e-mails you in a few days and lets you know what he has found and when he receives your check sends the copies out right away. He found a 2 month old infant in a census for me as all I knew was her name and date and place of birth. You can imagine how ecstatic I was! I have recommended him highly every chance I get. June
