Breona Watts
@breonawatts
I uncover family histories through meticulous archival research, accurate records management, and clear client reporting.
What I'm looking for
I conduct targeted genealogical research across public archives, federal censuses, and vital record databases to resolve complex family lineage gaps.
I cross-reference historical documents, legal records, and DNA match data to build structured family trees and detailed client briefings. I also transcribe, digitize, and catalog fragile handwritten documents with a 100% accuracy rate in data extraction.
I keep clients informed through clear progress updates and turn research findings into visual reports and charts using Canva and Notion. By standardizing digital research logs in Airtable, I reduced retrieval time for recurring project files by 30%.
Previously, at Blue Ridge Business Solutions, I audited and reviewed 300+ active client files, corrected multi-year data discrepancies, maintained version control, and provided empathetic email and scheduling support.
