Background and Experience
J. Amy Newman, owner of Newman Research Services, has been helping others solve family history mysteries for well over 25 years. When genealogy became popular on the Internet, she began serving the public as a volunteer, locating cemetery records, photographing headstones and locating other records in the Vancouver area of British Columbia.
In 1999 she began her career as a professional heir-searcher and since then has successfully identified and located thousands of beneficiaries and heirs-at-law in Canada and the USA. This experience enables Amy to understand the techniques, databases and resources associated with genealogy and people-searching. With an intuitive ability to follow the right leads and get to the facts, Amy is known for her dedication, thoroughness and high success rate.
Leading a network of experienced researchers, Newman Research Services can help you confirm relationships, obtain documents and find people.

"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."
