Family Stories Found and Told
Here is what a few satisfied clients have to say the about research, writing, and consultation services at The Psychogenealogist.
Kristine Bartley
“Being the only child in my family with children, whenever anyone died all the “stuff” came to me. Furniture, china, silver, letters, etc. Most of it from several generations before me. I knew the names of the people that owned everything but nothing much about who they were during their lives. Thanks to Steve I now have more than just birth and death dates. I have locations of houses, where they did business, how they entertained, who their friends were. These ancestors are now actual people with real lives. And I am richer for knowing who acquired all the objects I live with everyday.”

“Steven Hanley, The Psychogenealogist, provided me with a service that proved to be an interesting deep dive into my ancestors, whom I previously knew only by name. Through his numerous newspaper article discoveries, I was able to learn my ancestors’ political and ethical leanings, making them more real to me. What was once just a name written on a page was now a person with thoughts, foibles, and convictions. I never considered at the beginning of this project that I would learn such interesting details about people I had never met. Thank you Dr. Psychogenealogist!”

I have over 6000 names in my tree but never could locate him. It was really special that you prepared a portion of the tree showing me relationships! Thank you so much!! You are doing a wonderful work helping people locate their families. With my gratitude and appreciation for your genealogy work.”

“I had the pleasure of having Steve help me in my ancestor research. He was very patient with my on going questions and very thorough in his research. As information was discovered Steve seemed just as excited as I was. It is appreciated how he handled all of my families Information with all the respect and love that they deserve. He and his writing partner also put together a life story of my Grandmother, Thelma Earle Hoye. This story is very well done and a precious treasure to me. I highly recommend his services.”
