I’ve been researching for the origins of my wife’s grandfather for sixteen years. Although I’ve gathered an impressive amount of information, I couldn't prove the date and place of his British birth. This situation changed dramatically after I met with Lyn Meehan. She quickly helped me reorganize and analyze my data, and provided strategies to get around the road blocks. I recommend Lyn’s services to anyone. — David Pegg, Edmonton |

Lyn poured her heart and soul, and mastery of genealogy into compiling documents, maps, photographs and history on the Starrs of Tattyreagh, Ireland. Weaving together the lives and times of our family members, she produced a report bursting with vivid and fascinating detail. My relatives loved it. Thank you, Lyn! — Darlene Starrs, Edmonton |

Our case was challenging because client information did not correlate with records. Lyn's professionalism, suggestions, insights and response style led us to a successful breakthrough in Salt Lake City. She was the only individual of fifteen we contacted who met the qualifications we were seeking in a professional researcher. That was impressive to us! We look forward to recommending her to others (and using her as a Canadian Subcontracting Researcher.) — Mary E. Petty, B.A., VP HEIRLINES, Salt Lake City |
