Services

Family history
Are your ancestors French or German? Would you like to learn more about their history, where they lived before emigrating, or identify your European lineage? I can assist you in uncovering the story of their life.

Paleography
Struggling to read an old document? Unsure of the language it’s written in? I transcribe and translate texts in French, English, German or Spanish from the 16th to the 20th century.

“Sonia Lemaire’s meticulous genealogical research allowed me to uncover a previously unknown part of my family tree and discover ancestors I never knew existed. Her work has brought clarity and a sense of continuity where traditional family stories had faded. The diverse formats of the materials provided showcase both the overarching structure of the family tree and detailed aspects of specific ancestors’ lives. The documentation she compiled is very rich and valuable. It’s a beautiful gift that bridges the gap between generations, connecting both the living and the deceased.” [Translated from French]

“This was my first time working with a professional genealogist, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sonia lemaire answered every one of my questions and were very patient and helpful in guiding me through the entire process from start to finish.
Even before the project officially began, she took the initiative to do a bit of preliminary research on my ancestor, making sure the project had a solid foundation and would be able to yield results. That moment showed me how seriously she takes her work and that I was in good hands.
The final report she delivered was beautifully organized with multiple pictures and annotations detailing everything. It was easy to understand, and packed with fascinating details that not only listed my ancestor’s names and dates, but also historical information and translation notes from the documents.
Thanks to her research, I now know my ancestors’ hometowns, their professions, and new family members I never would have found on my own, along with the history of the areas they lived in, adding more context to their lives!”
