Testimonials from Customers
“I connected with Elizabeth Terry through the website for the National Archives. I discovered her name on their list of independent researchers available for hire. I was looking for U.S. Military records that are archived at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. These records are only viewable in person and by appointment. Because the Archives does not accept written requests for these documents, time and distance made it very difficult for me to retrieve them on my own. I first contacted another researcher to perform this work on my behalf, but that individual was not willing to speak with me on the phone. I then contacted Elizabeth Terry. From start to finish, my interactions with Elizabeth have been good. She was delightful to speak with on the phone, she was interested in my project, she knew the process for obtaining the records, and she had the skills and experience required to perform the research. She retrieved the records for me quickly, and she mailed them to me immediately. Her price was fair and her communication by e-mail was excellent. I would highly recommend Elizabeth Terry to anyone looking for a researcher. You won’t be disappointed!”

“I needed research help to fill a four year void in my latest biography of a Civil War general. Elizabeth provided me with a wealth of data, so much that I added an extra chapter. I couldn’t be more pleased.”

“Last night was the last of the four genealogy classes at your church. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. We want to thank you for the extraordinary efforts of your archivist, Elizabeth Terry. She was so thoughtful, patient, and informative. Thank you!”

“My husband, Cecil, and I just completed Elizabeth Terry’s Genealogy 101 course. Elizabeth is vivacious in her presentation and taught us how to research in a manner that will bring our past generations to life. By the fourth and final class, all of us students spoke of our ancestors as though they were still living because we are gradually putting the “meat on the bones” as Elizabeth emphasizes; they become living persons to us, not just entries on a family tree. Elizabeth and Salem provided us with something we will be able to enjoy for the rest of our lives.”
