Do you need assistance with your family history research?  Have you hit a stumbling block and don't know where to look next?  Do you need professional genealogy help?  Please allow me to assist you! My name is Ron Kolb, and I am a professional genealogist.

As a Professional Genealogist, I use a wide variety of records in order to research your family tree. To effectively conduct genealogical research, it is important to understand how the records were created, what information is included in them, and how and where to access them.

The records I obtain are not limited to the united states. Do you need hard to locate records from the UK or other European countries?  I can also help with those searches too.
