Where We Conduct Research

Research is the foundation upon which Tangled Roots has been built. Whether it’s online or at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., we have the skills and experience necessary to locate the right information for our clients. We utilize the power of the Internet for the bulk of our historical and genealogical research but when the Internet can’t provide the necessary information we travel to some of the premier libraries and municipal facilities in the area to track down the information needed for our clients’ projects. Some of the facilities we research in are:

  • Daughters of the American Revolution Constitution Hall
  • The Library of Congress
  • The Library of Virginia
  • Local Cemetaries & Courthouses

  • DAR Constitution Hall
  • Library of Congress
  • Library of Virginia
