Family history / Patiently pieced together

A name is
a beginning.

A place remembered. A date penciled in a margin. We follow the records, one careful connection at a time.

A family tree taking shape on a research ledger A starting person branches to parents and grandparents. Six record cards connect across a lined page; a dotted branch and empty card leave room for an unanswered question. Start with what you know. Still a question.
Research notes / Connections need evidence.A gap is a question worth keeping.

The work of remembering

More than
names on
a chart.

I’m Ada Fenwick, the researcher behind Kinspindle. I help turn scattered family information into a history you can read, share and return to.

We begin with what you know and one question you want answered. I search the available records, compare the details, and explain what the evidence supports. Uncertain connections stay uncertain.

A letter you can’t quite read?

Let’s look at
the handwriting.

English-language letters, household notes and older documents can be transcribed into readable text, with unclear words marked. From $80 for up to two pages.

Keep the trail
with the story.

A finding is more useful when you know where it came from. Your report includes record references, conflicting details, unanswered questions and sensible next steps.

No promise of a particular ancestor. A careful record of the search, wherever it leads.
