She is an active member of the Rhode Island Genealogical Society, American-French Genealogical Society, and the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) New England Chapter.

Hello Folks, Quick question. Are genealogists considered contractors in VA? In my county in VA contractors are required to have a business license, but according to a fellow professional Genealogist they really aren't considered contractors. I asked Rocketawyer this question and am awaiting their response but just wanted to get the opinions of other professional genealogists in VA. Thanks, David

The Norwegian census records note the residence name, farm number, and property number at the bottom of the census.  Any ideas how I can locate the actual farm within a town?  I've tried google map searches and also going through a town boundary map street by street, but who knows how much has changed (or not) in the past 150 years.  Thanks!

Very interesting and timely. I'm facing a similar situation. I took on a client who provided me with a nice write-up of what he had thus far. He provided no citations of where the information was extracted from, however.  He did fully acknowledge "not being very organized" and said he obtained "most of his information from Ancestry and newspaper clippings." I actually found most of the sources he used. However, as you know, it took some time. The brunt of what I was asked to do was research personal papers at a local research library, which I did. But that also took quite some time. It's frustrating because neither searches revealed the amuont of results I had hoped, for obvious reasons. I was wondering how I was going to write up the experience. I have been writing my report along the way (just like I was taught in my BU course! and by Elissa at IGHR!) so it won't be difficult. That said, your answer to Brandt does provide much appreciated further reinforcement that I'm on the right track.

Brandt, you have received good advice. Our job is to be an impartial researcher, analyst, and reporter of the findings. This probably will not be your last case with this issue. It happens frequently in all kinds of genealogy cases, even legal. The Indian Princess, the Revolutionary War hero, the same name but wrong person ancestor, the first cousin who knows the decedent had no siblings so the first cousin must be the heir, the military record that shows a mother who was really a neighbor who took the kid in. Every circumstance one can imagine in genealogy research. This is the reason many people turn to professionals. Misinformation or their assumptions or incomplete/inaccurate research threw up a brick wall. d ---- Dee Dee King, Certified Genealogist Forensic Genealogy Services LLC and Contract Genealogist, US Navy Casualty, POW/MIA Branch Mail address - PO Box 1085, Manvel TX 77578 Telephone/fax 281-595-3090 www.forensicgenealogyservices.com www.facebook.com/forensicgenealogist CG is a service mark and Certified Genealogist is a registered certification mark of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, used under license by board certificants after periodic competency evaluations, and the board name is registered in the US Patent & Trademark Office.

I concur with Elissa. This is one of the places where the strength of the report model in Professional Genealogy shows. I had this experience with a client many years ago. She told me that a woman named Eliza was her great grandmother and she needed to find out when she married. I had three hours of research, but I found no evidence that Eliza married. I found her in the 1850 and 1860 censuses with her parents on their farm. I found no marriage record for her in town records. I found her buried under her maiden name with her parents. In the report, my research summary was that there was no evidence that she ever married. I referred the client to a genealogist that lived in that hometown. About three months later, that genealogist came walking across the library's reading room, waving my report in her hands. She said she couldn't believe how much I had accomplished in three hours. (Now you know how helpful that "limitations" section can be in a report!) She also told me that the client had a conversation with a great aunt who told her that Eliza's older sister Margaret was her great grandmother. Live and learn. But by using the ProGen report structure, I had a report that withstood scrutiny. The client paid and realized that she had to talk to more family members. Another professional genealogist didn't see that report as a failure, but as a success. God bless Elizabeth Shown Mills, is all I can say. Her report chapter rocks.

The client probably knows they did not conduct reasonably exhaustive research -- that's why they hired you! I wouldn't be nervous about it if you give your reasons for your conclusion and back them up with the facts. They may already know what they gave you was shaky. -- Elissa Elissa Scalise Powell, CG , CGL www.PowellGenealogy.com www.GRIPitt.org 25-30 June 2017 and 16-21 July 2017 in Pittsburgh, PA CG, CGL, and Certified Genealogical Lecturer are service marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, used under license by board certificants after periodic evaluations.

I have been doing research for a client, and spent several hours looking for leads based on the information he gave me. However, I discovered that the information the client provided was inaccurate, and thus the time spent in researching that information was, for lack of a better term, wasted. How do I communicate this in the report, without making the client think I wasted my time and their money? How much detail should I give about a search that was directed at people the client is not related to?

Superb advice, Lahnice.

Researchers looking for enslaved people almost always need to find research slaveowner(s) first. And, they need to see the enslaved people in context of the entire document. Not seeing the will(s) you have, I will assume there are no surnames for the enslaved people.
