Step #2 After You've Found a Living Descendant

1/31/2021

To hopefully break the ice, and get them to be more willing to give you information, let them know exactly who you are right away, and how you are related to them. Also make sure you can give their parent's, and at least grandparent's names, and further if possible. Then tell them your line, and exactly how that line fits into their family tree, so they know you're not and I.D. thief/scam artist ;)

Hi, I'm Diane Henriks, a Professional Genealogist and investigator who uses advanced deductive reasoning and logical constructs to thoroughly investigate a case, with a specialty in finding living descendants in family trees, and have worked closely with private investigators to find living people, while also assisting in background
investigations, in both civil and criminal cases; although, my day job is the one with the steady paycheck and insurance, lol! ;)
I have been researching family history and genealogy for the past 11 years. I have researched many of my own family lines, as well as that of my clients, and am a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and the Southern California Genealogical Society. Besides my family of course, my absolute favorite things in the whole world, and that bring excitement to me, are: tea, fog, bridges, and genealogy! I was asked by genealogists at the Southern California Genealogical Society years ago to publish my works. What started out as a small hobby, when a hand drawn family tree was given to me by my father, has since become a great obsession!
Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have, or any advice you may need! I'm always happy to help! :)
