About me

For many years I had a career in satellite communications, helping people in the remotest parts of the world connect to their loved ones.

Building on my lifelong love of history, now I reach into the past to connect people with family members by rediscovering their lost stories.

Customer stories

“Jananne has a deep personal interest in the ‘spider-work’ of historical family connections. She has a natural grasp of detail and the clear ability to retain and communicate their complexities. I have significantly benefitted from her total focus, professionalism and genuine enthusiasm for the subject. I thoroughly recommend her as a genealogist for her forensic investigations and for her easily-understood and logically-presented conclusions.”
