Testimonials
"Karen produced an impressive body of work, based on meticulous and extensive research that was backed up by church records, family photographs – some familiar and others previously unknown to me – and all set securely in the context of historical events. She was able to confirm and also to disprove some family legends and to uncover hitherto forgotten family secrets. She has inspired me to visit many of the locations where my ancestors lived during the past five hundred years." VB
