About
Queens-based genealogist with more than two decades of primary source research experience spanning the globe. Specializes in transforming genealogy research into interactive digital family archives rather than static reports.
Marie is a genealogist and founder of Trees and Trails Genealogy, based in Queens, New York. With more than two decades of hands-on research spanning centuries, continents, and a variety of cultures, she combines documentary research skill with technical capability to build living family archives. Her methodology follows records, migrations, and family stories wherever they lead, with extensive experience across Caribbean, Colonial American, Italian-American, Jewish, Native American, Middle Eastern, Indian, Puerto Rican, Haitian, and Central & South American genealogy. She specializes in DNA interpretation, slavery-era research, immigration records, church archives, newspapers, probate, military and property records, and interconnected diaspora histories. Rather than delivering static PDF reports, she creates interactive family archive websites, searchable document galleries, historical timelines, oral history preservation, family video productions, and private heritage spaces designed to be explored and shared across generations.
