Hello there!
Spring has sprung (hopefully for good) here in Wisconsin, so I’m emerging from my winter hibernation as much as I’m able to with a full workload.
Client Work
I’ve been busy with a variety of client research projects over the past couple of months, particularly for those interested in researching their Canadian roots. I covered this extensively in a recent blog post (more on that below), but in December 2025, a change to Canadian immigration law sought to correct previous issues with their citizenship by descent. This change means that many people, particularly Americans, who are descended from Canadians are, in the eyes of the Canadian government, already Canadian citizens.
For me, this was exciting news thanks to my many Canadian ancestors, but I’m not alone. I’ve had a steady clip of clients looking either for specific records they need to prove their lineage for the application process or hiring me to flesh out their lineage details. I really love doing this type of research and have enjoyed helping so many of my fellow American-Canadians!
