From a communication perspective, Liz's online lecture was very professional. Her office setting, background, camera (quality and angle), lighting, sound and dress were as good as it gets. Most would do well to imitate her... [She] provided a handout of detailed report and links of the presentation, yet her entire presentation was, as it should be, all images, some text, and the presentation was conversational and NOT reading from either the screen or the handout. The material was broad and general yet insider info quality.... a terrific combination.

For decades I wanted to research my ancestry and but never found the time. My friends recommended Elizabeth Gomoll of Red Bird Genealogy. With her help I now have a family tree dating back to colonial times and know more about my heritage than I could have imagined. She became personally vested in my family and worked closely with me to deliver exactly what I wanted. If you are contemplating ancestral research, I highly recommend Liz.

Liz was great to listen to and very informative. Her slides and explanations on very technical topics were easy to follow.

My father, born in 1905, was a stepchild who never knew the name of his biological father. I am now 80 years old, but recently decided to make another attempt to trace my paternal genetic background. Eight days after my initial inquiry to Elizabeth Gomoll she provided a detailed report that included a likely candidate, who was subsequently confirmed to be the one. She was able to accomplish this with a skillful combination of DNA and document research, and under our agreed upon initial budget. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, efficient, thorough and a real pleasure to work with. To say that she far exceeded my expectations would be an understatement.

I could not be more satisfied with the genealogical research you did for my book. In fact, calling your work genealogical doesn't begin to describe the depth of historical detail that you were able to provide. Not only did you find dozens of essential documents for me, but you were able to analyze them yourself to help put together the story-line of each family or person. Your efforts go so far beyond anything I could have expected, anticipated, or even dared to ask for. I would not hesitate to recommend you to any other author.

I consider myself an accomplished and published genealogist, but since I currently reside in Dubai, I am not able to access all the records I would like. A year ago, I discovered, via the Internet, some long-lost branches of my family tree that I have been searching for decades. Through Liz's capable and expert assistance, I was able to fill in the missing links on many of those branches.
My research involved people from various areas of Minnesota. Liz is very knowledgeable of what records exist and where to go to find answers. Since I am a genealogist, I wanted to find a researcher who would research only those records that I was unable to access myself. Liz steadfastly stuck to my plan and accomplished results that were greater than my expectations within the agreed upon budget. Her research was often accompanied by suggestions on "next-steps" which ultimately also proved fruitful. Her research solved many dead-ends, but opened up other new adventures.
I have found Liz to be most professional, thorough, and a real pleasure to work with. She comes with my highest recommendations.

I am very pleased with the results of your research. Thank you so much for your diligence, enthusiasm, and professionalism. The whole project was very well done, and the final result is handily organized, both digitally and on paper, for future use.

We were planning a trip to Sweden and wanted to know more about the place my great-grandfather once lived. With the limited information we provided, Liz was able to verify my great-grandfather was married in the church that still stands in that village and his son, my grandfather, was baptized there as well. Liz also found where my great-great-grandfather was baptized in the 1700s in another village - plus the names of his parents. She verified the all dates and gave us copies of the digitized church records.
Liz also provided contact information for historic sites we planned to visit in Sweden. As we begin to explore our Swedish heritage in more detail, Red Bird Genealogy Services will be the first place we will contact for help.

I have always known I was adopted but knew nothing about my birth family. Even though a DNA match showed I have a half-sister, I was completely unsuccessful in contacting her. I met Liz a few years back through our mutual work in public radio, and I was impressed. She struck me as lovely, intelligent, meticulous, hardworking and very gracious. Fast forward.... When I recently mentioned I might need some help locating my “bio” sister I really got a taste for what Elizabeth Gomoll can do. In one day, she analyzed the information I provided and sent what I needed to locate my sister. It’s not surprising so many use her excellent services, and personally, I am deeply grateful.
