Let Linda Locate

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

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: Although I did not use her service in the end, her entire approach was excellent, highly professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. Only the price prevented me from continuing.

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.

Description of Work: Linda performed perfectly and found who I was looking. She even worked overtime with no extra charge. I highly recommend.

Description of Work: asked for help re ancestry

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

Description of Work: She was very professional and friendly.

Description of Work: Provide genealogy search of family history

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.

Description of Work: Linda did internet research for me....helped me locate people, and do employee verification work.

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.

Description of Work: Locating a classmate of 54 years ago.

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.
