EXPERIENCE

 

 

    From 1975 to 1983 I supervised all public document research for an agency in Boston that investigated potential arson-for-profit insurance claims.  I became an independent title examiner in 1983 and have since searched several thousand land titles.  My work has included a number of searches for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and over 300 searches, for land acquisition or restrictive easements, by the Massachusetts Metropolitan District Commission, throughout eastern Massachusetts.    

 

    My early (1980s) historic work involved searches for properties in Acton, where I now live, and in Concord—including two of the oldest standing houses in the center of that town.  I began Worcester County Old House Histories in the fall of 2004 and now work almost exclusively in Worcester County.

 

    I have been doing genealogical research since 1993, when I began tracing the roots of my own family, and am currently a member of New England Historical Genealogical Society, whose invaluable website I use frequently.

 

    Apart from my historic searches, I handle all the title examinations in Worcester County for a law firm that deals with mortgage foreclosures and for another firm in Manchester, NH, that deals with title insurance claims, such as boundary disputes.
