"I've used Connie's retrieval service in the past and recommend her as one of the very best helpers any researcher could want.  She is fast, conscientious, and accurate.  You can trust that she will do her best to focus on your research problem and give you the most economical deal possible on finding records and doing research in the Family History Library and elsewhere."  Kathie M. Donahue, A.G.  Spokane, WA
Recommendations
"I recommend Connie Barnum as an expert in her field as a Genealogist. She helped me find ancestors that I had no idea where to look.  So I give an A+ for  knowledge and ability."     Dolores Ainsworth


"Trying to do research on your family history usually leads to dead ends, once you've exhausted all the resources that you "know" about.  Connie has provided me with many insights about resources that I didn't know, or for that matter, even think about, using. I have really appreciated Connie's help in putting the pieces to the puzzle of  "my" side of the family together. Her knowledge of all the tools available, in addition to her close physical proximity to one of the greatest tools available in pursuing family genealogy, make her an outstanding choice in putting a "family tree" together. Connie does great work and really goes the extra mile to authenticate her research."
Robert T.Agee,  Texas

"I recommend Connie as a researcher. She is very dedicated to her work and works hard to find all that she can. She is passionate about geneology and helping others with their family research!"        Kim Au, Laie Hawaii


"I grew up most of my life without grandparents and my dad and his siblings did not have a clue who their grandparent were.  So when I got a chance to look up some info I ran into a dead end.  I found Connie's web page and I could not link our sides of the family together, so I gave her the information I found.  In less that 12 hours she contacted me back and she found the information I was looking for and now my side of the family tree is complete.  If it was not for Connie I would have not came in contact with Robert T. Agee (my grandfathers 1st. cousin) I would recommend Connie to anyone that is interested in doing any type of family tree or genealogy.  Connie has several years of experience in this field and I will always refer back to her when I reach a dead end in my family history.  Thank you so much Connie for all of the hard work you have done."  Kevin Agee,   Atoka TN.

Connie is extremely knowledgeable in the field of genealogy.  She is an excellent researcher!  She is a dedicated hard worker who has the innate ability to pull the names and families together and in such a short amount of time.  I do not believe there is another site as extensive and accurate as what she has done with her and family line along with mine as I am an Agee.  One rarely can be as fortunate as to have a researcher within such close vicinity to the main Family History Library in Utah.  She exceeds expectations with her research.  She is wonderful to work with.  Above all else she loves her work and does not tire in finding the missing pieces. Ten Stars for Connie!!!!  Robin Agee
