"After 35 years my wife was finally reunited with her mother. The process took almost a year but with the persistent and understanding efforts of Amy Newman this finally took place… Amy has our highest recommendation and our eternal thanks for bringing my wife into contact with her mother which has been a wonderful experience for both."

"Amy has an incredible ability to synthesize information - her eye for detail is remarkable, and she immediately knows how to connect information with people, and people with people. I have never met anyone with such incredible networking ability, which surely stands her in good stead in her genealogical research. She strikes me as a person who would leave no stone unturned. Her highly personable nature and keen interest in people and her work make her a wonderful person to work with."
