"An amazing profession and professional. Kate succeeded in not only finding one of my great great... grandparents who fought in the revolutionary war, but she found over 5 that I'm a direct dependent of, and helped me to get all proof and paperwork in order to become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. We are currently working on my Mayflower ancestry. Highly recommend Kate and Patriot Sleuth!" - Kelly K. *****

I engaged her to do some research into a very common name and she was able to conclusively identify the correct man. Not an easy task. She uses her talents to create a unique case report for her clients--one they are happy and proud to share. Highly recommend her services." - Donna B. *****

She guided me through a sensitive and emotional search with such compassion and understanding, making me feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. Kathryn is a true wealth of knowledge and has a wonderful way of explaining things clearly and thoughtfully. She also helped me uncover and better understand parts of my own heritage that I never knew about. She’s warm, genuine, reliable, and so easy to talk to — always responding quickly and with care.

"I was so excited to work with Kate on my genealogy! She was able to trace my family’s roots all the way back to the 1600s!!! It seems as though all the missing puzzle pieces were finally found! She is so knowledgeable about all of this! Leave it to Kate and save yourself years of research!" - Leah P. *****
"Kathryn did extensive family history research to find a 9 x great grandfather who had left Suffolk, England with his wife and young son in 1634 on a ship named the "Elizabeth". They were among some of the founding members of Watertown, Massachusetts who left England during the "Great Migration" seeking religious freedom from persecution under King Charles I and the Anglican Church. The documents found relating to this research were eye opening beyond belief and helped us to understand our family history all the more. She was also able to uncover several patriots who fought in the American Revolutionary War, making us and future generations eligible for membership in the NSDAR (National Society Daughters of the American Revolution), SAR (Sons of the American Revolution) and many other societies. We highly recommend Kathryn and Patriot Sleuth Genealogy for anyone looking to research their family history and break down brick walls for difficult research." - A.G.
