“The amount of information Shanna was able to find on my family was so delightfully overwhelming. I did NOT expect for her to dig as deep as she did and find so many hidden treasures in my family tree. She provided me with many pictures, stories, and a greater appreciation for my family and what they did in order to make their new lives and how special that journey was. My sense of pride in my family has grown immensely because of her work and I’m so grateful.”

“The work that Shanna did made our trip a once in a lifetime experience. She connected us to so many places and people that I simply would not have had the time or expertise to do on my own. We traveled halfway across the world with multiple generations in tow and Shanna accounted for everything. She was able to provide an itinerary that kept us on time and on budget! We are forever in her debt. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

“Shanna’s work was fascinating and meticulous. She took her time to really make sure the information she presented was not only backed up by records, but that it made sense. She thought through the timeline of my family’s lives as if she were there, seeing how people lived and what they were experiencing. Her research sparked long-overdue conversations, helping distill memories into a more cohesive, linear form.”

“When I reached out to Shanna to learn more about my ancestry I didn't know what I was looking for or where to start. With her initial research she found information on my dad's side of the family and went deep into that research. It was great to learn more about that side of the family, and learn about specific locations I can visit that have significant to my relatives.”

“Norway is beautiful! Being surrounded by kind people, dramatic landscapes, and lush greenery was everything I needed to recharge - and it all started with Shanna’s help and expertise. I don’t travel often, so planning to pack as much of Norway as possible in 10 days was incredibly stressful. Shanna helped us figure out how to travel cross-country without a car (which can be so confusing!) and prioritize the highlights for what we wanted to do and see. It was a fantastic trip and we’re huge fans of The Nordic Genealogist!”
