We all carry inside us, the people who came before us.

Family lore ...

There was some lore about my husbands' maternal great-grandparents' history. We were curious to know why they traveled across many continents during the late 1800's and wondered if they were "Landed Gentry" to Canada as told by the current older relatives. In no time, Dusty professionally ascertained the historical accuracy of these stories and provided copies of historical documents from as far back as the 1700's in India. Dusty also discovered a living relative that is interested in communicating with us.
​
Overall, Dusty offers a remarkable research service with a swift response for a reasonable fee. I highly recommend her work as a genealogist.

​I've never known this much...

I won 5 hours of free research with Dusty in a giveaway on Instagram and then purchased further hours with her. And I'm so glad I did! Using the little information I provided to her, Dusty was able to dig up birth records, immigration records, death records, marriage records, and more and put together an in-depth family tree going back 5 generations! I've never known this much about my family before and it amazes me to know where I came from, and to know what kind of lives my ancestors lived. Thank you Dusty! And to anyone who wants to know more about their past family members, but doesn't know where to start... You won't regret hiring Rural Roots Genealogy to find out!

A key part of my story...

Dusty's professionalism, dedication and passion for Genealogy shone through each step of my journey of discovery to find my birth father.  Her vast knowledge and research skills let me watch in awe as she wove together a complex family tree with the use of DNA, census Records, obits, contacting people directly and good old sleuthing!  I feel like finding her was serendipitous and a key part of my story.  I will always be forever thankful to Dusty for everything she did for me.

I finally know who my father was...

Hi, I would like to post a note. Dusty did my ancestry which was no easy task! I only had the name of my father and the army unit he was in. Turns out it wasn't even his real name but Dusty found him plus a whole other family! Because of my age most were already deceased. All my life I never knew my father or anything about him and now in my 80's, I finally know who he was, where he came from and my paternal ancestry going back generations! If you ever want to do your family tree or find someone and need help like I did, contact Dusty! She is a real professional and believe me, my ancestry was no easy task to uncover!

Amazing resource!

​Dusty is an amazing resource. She is incredibly thorough, and extremely well versed in all of the sources for information about genealogy. She is very clear about what she can and can’t do, and her rates are entirely reasonable for the information she provides, above and beyond the data she is asked to seek out (which results are beyond her control, of course). Extraordinarily communicative, and unfailingly kind in her approach. You simply cannot go wrong with hiring her to assist you in your search.

After 50 years of searching...

Dusty has been very resourceful. Through her access to private genealogy circles she was able to locate my ancestors' Croatian regional archive and make arrangements for me to begin receiving information after 50 years of searching. She encourages you to do what you can on your own to reduce service costs. ​

Surpassing expectations...

​Dusty's expertise as a genealogist is unparalleled, surpassing every expectation I had set in discovering my husband's Metis heritage. Though presented to us as a challenging task, Dusty met with unwavering commitment to her craft and a genuine passion for unraveling the intricacies of our family history. Not only does she display a significant level of expertise and professionalism, she meticulously combed through countless records, piecing together fragments of information to construct a comprehensive and accurate picture. Throughout the entire process Dusty maintained open lines of communication, ensuring we were kept informed and involved in every step. She has provided us with a connection to a vibrant cultural heritage that was once shrouded in mystery, all at an absolute fraction of her true worth.
