Historical Research Partners- Reflections on historic homes and genealogy

Since 2004, Historical Research Partners has helped individuals answer questions about their genealogy and/or the history (or genealogy) of their house. We have helped clients answer questions including when was my house built, who built it, what interesting events happened here, etc. We are willing to work with you to discover whatever level of detail you want. We hope you enjoy some of the stories of the interesting people and places that we have researched over the years.

Consider Giving a Gift of History This Year

House histories and family histories make great gifts. These gifts are unique and very personal. I have completed many histories for gifts, and all have been well-received. If you are considering giving a gift of history this year, please plan ahead. Researching a house or a family takes time, so I set October 31 as my cutoff date for beginning Christmas gifts. Gift certificates are also available.

Rare Eliot Ness Memorabilia Collection

This photo, taken in 1947, is one piece of the Rare Eliot Ness Memorabilia Collection that will be soon be part of an auction conducted by Central Mass Auctions, Inc. The photo was taken in Cleveland during Ness' unsuccessful bid for mayor. This is of particular interest to me because the store in the background was owned by my family. So cool! History truly is everywhere.
