Kristine Hyatt Lyon, Certified Genealogist®
Managing Member
I feel blessed by connections to my family of the past and present, and I am eager to make those connections possible for others. I believe that family history can be empowering and eye-opening. Sharing that history with younger generations can be fulfilling and FUN 🙂
My research specialties are the Midwestern United States, German-American immigrants, and Adoption/Unknown parentage (DNA research).
That being said, I have successfully researched families in the following places:
Twenty-four states in the USA (including colonial, African American and Native American research)
Germany and former German provinces
Sweden Norway
France Canada Puerto Rico
