About Celina
Meet Celina Pearson, the Genealogist
Celina has over 25+ years experience in combing through the records of the past onto new discoveries.
This has been a passion that started back in 1997 to learn more about the Cherokee ancestor she never knew. Since then she has learned sleuthing techniques to locate hard to find records, break brick walls and reconnect lost family lines. Turning the stones of those trails have gained her knowledge in history, problem solving, understanding old handwriting, photo dating, migration patterns, land ownership, documenting family tree’s, and more. Up until now, she has dedicated her time and research to those close to her in her spare time. Now she would like to help others.
She has roots in America that extend back to the early 1700’s along with Scotch/Irish, English and German immigrants. Her primary knowledgebase is in American & Canadian Records (English).
Celina is a full time administrative assistant by day and dedicates her spare time to genealogy research and helping others.
