Genealogy Research Services in the South
Tracing ancestors in Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, or West Virginia requires more than a database search. Mountain State Genealogy specializes in the courthouse records, land grants, and tax lists that document Upper South families — including those who left few traces in official records. Whether your line disappears before the Civil War or vanishes entirely before 1850, there is almost always more evidence to be found.
“In my opinion, Jill is working in a sacred field and does so in a fashion that treats you and your past with honor and dignity.”
