It went great. . . .
Description of Work: For yet one more branch of my big family tree Linda has come through with flying colors. This branch came from Germany, and as one might expect, there were 13 different ways to spell the surname. Yet Linda was able to figure it all out, coming though with exciting background information and stories. And remarkably, translations into English from the German that I had been working on for years. Moreover, Linda writes the most beautiful narratives. The stories she tells in words and pictures, including newspaper clippings from eons ago, is incredible. I cannot praise her enough. She is always prompt in responding to my emails and is so nice and pleasant to deal with, it makes the sting of finally realizing I needed to give up doing the research myself and just go ahead and hand it off to a professional. And a professional is exactly what she is. 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. ;)

it went Great. . . . .
Description of Work: I just don’t know where to start to thank Linda for all she has found out about my family. I never had a clue that my mother had been high school homecoming queen. Moreover, what a story she found about the castle in England that bears my mother’s maiden name. Wow ! ! ! Linda is indeed amazing, and I am saying this for the second time because I had her do my husband’s family tree. She did such amazing work on that big project that I had to give up on doing mine myself (having tried off and on for YEARS) because I decided I wanted it done before I was too old or too senile to appreciate it. And because this report has been so exciting, and since I have been working on this myself for so long, getting nowhere, I have now decided to go ahead and have her do several of the other names/branches of my family. From experience, I know the work is painstaking and difficult; same name spelled 6 different ways, conflicting dates for the same thing, the list goes on, but Linda has come through once again and I cannot thank her enough.

Description of Work: Linda was amazing! She went above and beyond to find my family information and doesn't charge for some of the "usual" that others will charge for. She really loves her work and she's so personable. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is trying to trace their family tree!

Description of Work: Linda was so professional and wonderful! She was unable to get to my file right away, as she had many clients before me, but she was wonderful about emailing me with updates on her progress. She is very thorough and has been working with me for a few months now. She comes highly recommended, as long as you are willing to wait for her services. I did have to submit a $500 retainer fee before she started working, but she seems honest and hardworking.

Response from Let Linda Locate
Thank you, Member. I am very confused by the grade of C for punctuality. The member was very aware that I had a waiting list of clients to attend to before I could start working on her research. I don't consider this a lack of punctuality. I believe it is a case of a fairness to my clients that allows me to spend as much time as necessary to complete each Report before beginning a new assignment. Several times I offered her a complete refund if my time constraints and "one client at a time" work ethic did not meet her expectations. She always declined having her retainer returned and at one point replied, "There is no rush." In addition, she did not receive her completed report on October 4th, as she stated. I am currently in the process of working on her Report that she will receive as soon as my requirements for a thorough and thoughtful presentation of facts are completed within her allotted budget restrictions. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to clarify facts.

Dear [removed member name]. I have never received an inquiry from you so I am very confused as to your review. Did you send it to [email protected] or [email protected]? I respond to all email inquiries to both addresses. I am sorry but again, I am extremely concerned you would rate me an F when I have never heard from you.

Description of Work: I contacted Linda as I have been searching for an old friend for a long time but have had no luck on my own. I had few bits of information to give her as I only knew his first and last name and the state he was born in... didn't know his date of birth or even age, and I hadn't seen him since 1969 in Bogotá, Colombia, where I lived at the time. She was not encouraging but agreed to try and locate him. For over a week we exchanged emails daily, she with questions and I mostly with no answers. And then came the report: loads of info about family and employment but sadly also the news that he had died some time ago. I was so impressed by her ability and skills to dig out information where the leads were so thin, and I happily paid the $250 thinking it really didn't seem enough for all the work she had done. I highly recommend her, have been doing so to friends, and the moment someone else goes missing I'll enlist her help immediately! If you're reading this Linda, thanks again! You're the best!

Description of Work: Linda was asked to research any and all public records of one of one of my relatives. I was quoted $50.00/hr.with an estimate of 2 hours which I readily agreed to. Linda completed her agreement and provided me a link to pursue further inquiries, which i did and produced very satisfactory results. My overall net satisfaction with my experience with Let Linda Locate is 101% and more. I could not reccommend her service any more highly than, "ICHIBON". And I can only hope that this is the type of results I relize with all of my experiences with Angies List. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,Angie of Angies List and Let Linda LocateSincerely, Pat Brackett

I wanted a complete family tree that I could not only have for myself but also something I could pass on to my children and so on. I sent Linda what I had regarding my history. Not only did she complete the missing pieces but her report was complete with history about the area, pictures related to the family, family name history, etc. She also disproved some ideas and provided the truth...invaluable. This was much more than I had any idea that she would provide and I am even still digesting the information. The data also comes in a .pdf file that can be emailed but she is willing to have it put into book form or really whatever you would like. She went above and beyond my expectations and is now currently working on the other side of my family tree. Can't say enought about what she has provided. Every email and question was answered without a complaint. Thanks Linda....

When Linda finished with her report on our family's last name, I was so impressed with all the data she found. She included census reports which provided the information on family members who lived back in the early 1800s and 1600s! It's amazing to read their occupations and all who shared the household at that time. She even categorized on separate pages on who was married to who and their offspring. I could see the trail of first names that were passed down to our present day family. Linda worked long and hard. She seems to love digging for any piece of information she could get to make the report complete. When the report was finalized, she invited me to sit with her while she went page by page so I could understand and see all that she had found of the family. She leaves no stone unturned!! She truly loves what she does and she won't stop until she knows she has found everything. She is amazing!!!
Description of Work: I asked Linda to research the history of our last name. She not only came up with the origin of the name but she found evidence of family members from the 1600's! She created a beautiful 42 page bound report for me which included names and dates from the past to the present.

I am a birth mother who was searching for a son, born 40 years earlier, on the opposite coast from where I live now. Armed with just very basic information that I provided, Linda was able to locate my son in what I feel was an incredibly short time period. As it turned out, her search for my son was a particularly difficult one since it involved searching in both the United States and ultimately Asia. She located him in Thailand in just under two months! With Linda's support, I contacted him in February, 2006. Within a few short months, having officially confirmed with the adoption agency that I am his birth mother, we began to correspond regularly and arranged to meet in person. He, his lovely wife and three adorable grandchildren are now in my life! Linda's competent and intellegent search as well the emotional support and wealth of experience she provides will leave you in total awe. My advice: take the leap to find that special person in your life. Let Linda Locate!
Description of Work: If you are searching for anyone in the world, Linda is the one to find that person for you. As a seasoned professional in the search field, Linda cannot be matched. She is intellegent, intuitive, resourceful and extremely competent - all important qualities needed for any successful searcher. In addition, she is an honest, sensitive and compassionate person who is passionate about her work. In my opinion, this makes Linda truly special. When I initially contacted her in December, 2005, I admit that I was very nervous and even ambivalent about whether I truly wanted to "take the plunge" and look for a son I gave up for adoption 40 years earlier. Linda put me at ease, helped me through my fears, and offered me the emotional support I needed throughout the whole complicated process. She periodically "checked in" with me to see how I was doing and to provide me with a progress report. When her search was complete on February 2, 2006, she took the time to prepare me emotionally for the news. She then stayed by me as I proceeded to make contact, offering very sensitive and helpful suggestions. Linda has total respect for the feelings, concerns and privacy of her clients. And she is experienced and wise regarding the complicated nature of human interaction and reaction.

I had been going through my High School Yearbook, and decided to try and find one of my closest friends that I had lost contact with. I tried to do the search on my own, but came up with blanks. A friend of mine told me about "Let Linda Locate'", and I decided to give it a try. I gave her as much information that I could come up with. Within 24 hours, she located my friends brother, who I immediately called. I explained who I was, and that I had met him a couple of times through my friend. Since my friend had an unlisted number, he called her to see if it was okay for him to give me her phone number. He called me back within a couple of hours, and gave me her number. I called her, had an 'okay' chat, and she told me that she did not want any contact with people from high school, as she had terrible memories from high school. She asked me to please not call her again, for which I respected her wishes. We were so close in high school, that it disappointed me that she felt that way. Well, at least she was found. I can't thank Linda enough for finding my friend, even tho she didn't want to be found. I will definitely be using Linda in the very near future to locate family members. Linda, if you can read this, "Thank You so Much".

Member, I did read this! You are so welcome. I appreciate the opportunity to help you. For whatever her personal reasons regarding shunning all contact with any of her high school friends, at least you can be proud of yourself for offering your friendship. .It truly is her loss since you seem like a terrific guy. :)

I was so overwhelmed with gratitude on all of Linda's research on my family and they way she professionally documented each finding. It touched my heart to see my dear Mother listed in the 1900 census as being as being 3/12th of a year old. I would highly recommend Linda to find any family member, lost or living, to do research for me.
Description of Work: I asked Linda to find out the date my maternal grandmother was born. She not only found the date my grandmother was born but she went way beyond anything I requested. What a surprise when she handed me a full profile report of both sides of my family. Seeing my great grandmother's handwriting on my grandfather's Canadian birth report was something to behold, along with all the extra research she accomplished.

Dear Member, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such kind words! It was a pleasure researching information on not only your grandmother's date of birth, but other beloved family members of yours. I am very happy you enjoyed my genealogical findings and particularly pleased to hear how tickled you were seeing your great-grandmother's handwriting for the first time. Thank you again for the opportunity to help you fill in branches of your family tree. Kindest regards, Linda
