Shewy Roots

Edward Shewfelt has over 50 years of dedicated experience in genealogical research and documentation, helping families, individuals, and missionaries gain clarity and confidence in their heritage. Because adoption is part of his own family story, he has extensive experience using DNA research to identify biological parents and reconnect family lines. He has taught missionaries how to correctly update and improve FamilySearch. He specializes in navigating complex brick wall cases and rectifying historical inaccuracies through rigorous, evidence-based methodology. He leverages deep expertise in FamilySearch, Ancestry, RootsMagic, and Family Tree Maker to deliver meticulously sourced results. Every family has untold stories—he uncovers them through records, photos, interviews, and DNA, then preserves them forever.
