Genealogy Past Discovered

Andrea was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and understanding of the emotions involved in our delicate situation which involved a family member that had been adopted, and of whom none of the surviving family members were aware. She helped us in connecting many dots, and in using our DNA to determine exactly where the individual fit in our family tree, which after literally 98 years, you'd think would be impossible. Andrea was a please to work with, very thorough, and detail oriented, and I highly recommend her to anyone in trying to find answers with regard to their genealogy.

If you want someone who knows how to think outside of the box and pay attention to tiny, seemingly, innocuous details - then Andrea is your person. When searching for family, no stone is left unturned and she overturns those stones with persistence. I would work with Andrea in a heartbeat!

I've run out of adjectives to describe you - other than my favourite, "You are Amazing!!" You amaze me with every correspondence I receive. You know more about my family than I do! Thank you for all the research you are doing on my family. Even the young ones are becoming quite interested now.

I'm afflicted with ALS so my time in this body is very limited. A note of appreciation to genealogist Andrea Helwig-Henseleit for the professional and thorough research she has provided to me about the Cameron family from Linacy Glen (Nova Scotia). Andrea brings her sleuthing and tenacity to the search. She loves the discovery!

I've had such a great time going over all the information you have sent, plus the wonderful charts of our family. It's so nice to have it all printed out and in plastic sheets to view. Just wonderful. Thank you for all your hard work.

Detective Helwig, you're doing a marvellous job! I am highly impressed with all the work you are doing on my family search. You're making me remember all of my dead relatives, that I half the time can't remember who they were, and yet, you're making me go back into my archives and retrieve that information. Thank you for making me think about them all. Incredible work you are doing.

I started doing my family research and was just beginning to learn about my Canadian family when I was referred to Andrea. The little research that I had done on my own was nothing in comparison to the amount of information Andrea found for me. I learned the names of my grandma, great grands and many, many others. I was able to see the pictures attached to the names that was on the papers she emailed me. Her research has brought with it many living cousins and new relationships into my life. Her work has brought so much joy to my life. I finally have the knowledge of my family history, which has connected me to family I never knew. I would highly recommend Andrea for any of your family research work you may have.

Andrea provided a bounty of known and unknown information about both sides of my complicated family! She is obviously passionate about what she does and has remarkable resources to accomplish what she sets out to do. Many thanks for your help, Andrea.

You are so kind! Thank you for all your hard work on our big extended family. Learning about new family members and "family secrets" was fascinating.
