Seminar attendees say...
contagious enthusiasm
"Rhonda’s Family History Detective sessions have been the highlight of my genealogy experience. I have taken genealogy courses over the years from many instructors. What set’s Rhonda’s presentations apart is that she shares her personal stories as she tirelessly searches for her ancestors. Her desire is insatiable and inspirational. As she relates her adventures, she introduces the sources she used and hints of how to use them in your own individual pursuits.
Rhonda’s enthusiasm is contagious… a very determined seeker. She does whatever it takes to complete her quest. As she relates her adventures you are swept up in her family story. It inspires you to pursue your family ancestors as fervently as she does.
You will be pleased if you sign up for Rhonda’s presentations. You will appreciate her organized sessions, her knowledge of genealogical pursuits, and her willingness to go the extra mile to assist you as you seek your own ancestors.”

great class experience
"This class was something I have dreamed of for a very long time. Sharing your personal experiences prepared me for what I would find. Thanks for making what I thought was going to be really taxing, an exciting, fun and sometimes emotional never-ending journey. What a great class experience you gave us.”
– C. Pardo (Attendee, Family History Detective)
delivers skills
"Rhonda is a natural leader in the genealogy arena. Her understanding of DNA facts and how they will intermingle with our human emotion is a true art. She has a passion for not only helping while teaching but also delivering real results. The one thing that puts her shoulders above is her keen ability to deliver learnable skills that you can use while doing your own research. Rhonda was the keystone in helping me find my birth roots and heritage with me only having a letter from the adoption agency with non-identifying information.”
