Learn what We Go Way Back LLC does best:
I highly recommend hiring Meryl . . . This modern-day Sherlock Holmes is pleasant to work with and listens to your concerns. She is very thorough and highly proficient at what she does.
I had a need to hire a good genealogist to break down my brick wall with my 2nd great-grandfather. . . Meryl was able to do in 15 hours of research what another company, I had previously hired to do this same research, couldn’t do in 30 hours.
