I came to Linda for help trying to trace the history of a side of my family that I've never met. I was in over my head trying to do it on my own so I found Linda on Angie's List and asked her to help. The report she gave was so much more than I could have asked for! She was able to trace my ancestors all the way back to the 1600s, and on top of that found pictures of some of my ancestors from the 1800s! I'm absolutely in awe of the incredible work Linda did and I'm so grateful to her for all her help. She was very responsive throughout the process to any questions I had and kept me updated throughout on her progress. Linda is an absolutely lovely person to work with and I highly recommend her services!

Linda was professional and honest during the course of the project. She was able to assist with keeping expectations grounded and provide direction in targeting specific goals. She provided highly effective communication every step of the way and provided clear timelines. While the service was great; Linda really outdone herself with the final report. It became clear just how meticulous and thorough she really is. She targeted every goal as well as providing countless insights to continue further research on my own. I can say with 100% certainty, Linda will hear from me again!

I set Linda up for a difficult task. I was asking her to find ancestors from Wales with very common names. I was somewhat limited in funds and so we agreed on what she would start researching. She was able to find information beyond what I had located and made significant progress. I hope to hire her again in the future to find additional information. Linda is responsive, hard working, and fun to work with. I look forward to working with her again in the future!

Linda never ceases to amaze me. I have had her do multiple reports for me, with the most recent one always managing to seem more in depth, thorough and comprehensive than the former. Over the years I have worked on this particularly complicated family line, never managing to figure it out. But as usual, Linda has come through with very exciting and impressive details. Reading her report gives me such warm and fuzzy nostalgia feelings, reading about those now deceased relatives that I knew, but also, with Linda’s expertise, seeming to get to know those I was never able to meet, longing to know more about their lives and how, through them, I came to be. Through Linda’s narrative and stories about my ancestors, I have indeed gotten to know them, and it is wonderful. Thanks again Linda ! ! !

I didn't hire Linda, because she determined that she couldn't assist me with my specific problem. She was very helpful with determining a specific plan of action and who to contact. I would highly recommend contacting Linda about researching a family tree.

I had a very short time frame. She provided extremely valuable leads, but ultimately turned me over to a local genealogist in Italy. She was exceptionally responsive, even on a holiday weekend. Her professionalism and integrity was clearly of the highest level, and she provided clips of Ellis Island records that I had overlooked.

It went G-R-E-A-T! This was a 50th birthday gift for my wife and she loved it. I actually put took it to a book binder and had it made into a book and designed a cover for it just to put a bit of my own imprint on it. Thanks so much to Linda for the work. It is amazing to see the thought process and development of the history. In fact, I think the most interesting parts are where Linda speculated on certain persons being part of my wife's ancestry but couldn't find definite corroboration. Really interesting. Linda has a passion and talent for this work. Thank you so much! Others in her family are super interested in this history and we will share it (I had 10 copies of the book made). This will be an heirloom for the family.

Linda was very prompt to respond to my initial email. She offered to do a brief search, representing less than her standard time. She offered me a rate commensurate to the time she was going to put in, and even offered to fit the search in for the upcoming week! Four days after initially contacting Linda, I received a detailed report via email. Although her brief search wasn't able to produce the information I was seeking, I remain very impressed with Linda's prompt responses to emails, her willingness to offer me a non-standard "mini search", and the valuable suggestions she made in her report. I fully intend to hire Linda for her more lengthy standard search, as I have a hunch that with more information provided to her, and more time allotted to the search process, that her investigative nature, combined with her demonstrated caring character, will more likely uncover the information I've been looking for!

Linda did an amazing job with the report. It was a large and complex report plus she had the challenge of a last name that had over 30 different variations of spellings. Linda kept me posted throughout the process and the final product was exactly what I hoped for! I was even pleasantly surprised to see a picture of the boat my relatives traveled over on. Definitely recommend her services.

It was a wonderful experience. I was a bit overwhelmed by the magnitude of it but it was Sooo Much Fun to go through!!! It has afforded me so much pleasure in sorting through the details and learning so much about a subject that I have longed to know for so long! Linda obviously committed a huge amount of time, effort and skill in assembling documents, photos, and fascinating history. I cannot recommend her enough! I would be willing to correspond further with any prospective clients who wish further details. Thank you, Linda!

With only a birth certificate (from 1939!) listing my father's birth mother's name, place of residence, and place of birth, Linda eagerly took on the challenge. We ended up with a 103-page genealogy report detailing my father's birth mother's lineage. She was even able to find a few photos of his biological mother! Linda identified several living descendants and offered suggestions on ways to contact them that would respect the delicate nature of our relationship with them given the likelihood that they may not know anything about my father's birth and adoption. It was obvious that Linda has a true passion for her work. She went above and and beyond on this project, and I get the impression that is always her style! Thank you Linda!

"Hello! Let Linda Locate does not provide air conditioning services for classic cars in Ohio. I am glad you were happy with the work done on your car, but as you can see from Let Linda Locate's description and other reviews, it could not have been done by Let Linda Locate. ;)"

Linda has provided EXCELLENT and DETAILED ancestry work. I was speechless when I reviewed the first report she started. I know that ancestry can be very tedious and time consuming as well as confusing but the work she has provided per my request is outstanding. I will continue and look forward to working with Linda in the future. Thank you so much!

Yet again, Linda’s work is amazing. This is the third time I have had Linda do research for me (and I do have more) and yet again, she has come through with information that I have personally been seeking for years, but could never find. She is always promptly responsive to my emails, explains everything each step of the way, is very professional . . . . . . and is funny and delightful too. How she keeps all the dates and all the different spellings of a surname straight in her head is phenomenal. My head spins at the thought. Yet she does it. I cannot praise her enough, and as mentioned, will continue to have her work on further genealogical reports for me.

The report Linda emailed me was fascinating. Over hundred pages of information that I never really knew about before. I asked Linda to specifically look into the origins of my surname and she didn’t disappoint. She begins the report with a personal letter to the recipient and then explains the research process. From there, it’s just a treasure hold of information on the origins of my surname. Linda provided spelling variations of my surname to show the complexity of finding the origins. It was like reading a short book with lots of twist and turns. Linda had her hands full, but she did an outstanding job with the research, providing tons of information on family members on my Father’s side. Long story short, I discovered that my surname comes from Bratislava, Hungry or as it was originally known as Pressburg, Hungary. Overall, Let Linda Locate is an outstanding service if you ever what to know anything about your family tree. I am so happy with Linda’s work. I plan in the future to work with Linda again because I still would like to look into my mother’s side of the family. Linda was so wonderful to work and talk with that there is no doubt that I will be a customer of hers again.

She did a very thorough job on each branch. She explained how she determined which information to include. She also explained that incomplete records and/or misspelled names that can make it difficult to verify backgrounds.
