Time Travel Genealogy (TTG) specializes in offering clients affordable genealogy research, brick-wall consultations, adoption research, document retrieval in Northern California and speaking engagements. It is headed by Madeline Yanov, (formerly of MY Genealogy Services) who has more than 30 years of genealogy research experience specializing in American research but is familiar with European genealogy: specifically, Irish, British, Scandinavian, Slovak, and Russian genealogy with a little German on the side. TTG focuses on American research but since most Americans are descendants of immigrants, we know how to research in other countries too.
Madeline has been instrumental in locating and helping to reunite adoptees with their birth parents.
In her “other life”, before becoming a full time genealogist, Madeline was a paralegal whose expertise included “discovery” for cases. This has helped her in analyzing what to search for and how to find it.
She volunteers weekly at the Oakland, California Regional Family History Library and also is an indexer with FamilySearch.org. Madeline frequently lectures on genealogical topics to genealogy societies in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is currently the Co-President of the Contra Costa County Genealogical Society and is a proud member of APG, the Association of Professional Genealogists.
