“Diane Rapaport is an outstanding genealogist. She pursued research at multiple repositories based on the information I provided her and made use of many records. Ms. Rapaport’s finished report on my project is clear and convincing. She gave me recommendations on how to further my research if I so desire. She has inspired me to continue with my research into my family history.”

Chris Thorpe

“Diane Rapaport was a pleasure to work with on my project. She communicated her opinions and experiences on the research efficiently. Diane responded to every email very quickly. And, most importantly, she showed an enthusiasm for my family project which almost equaled my own. I would highly recommend her.”

Timothy Kenny

“Thank you so much for your outstanding efforts! You are very good at what you do, and your work is deeply appreciated. I shall now proceed to file supplementary ancestry forms with the Sons of the American Revolution to add to the growing list of Patriots from whom I can claim descent. I shall readily recommend you to anyone that I come across in search of their ancestors.”

David M. Lamb

“Diane was WONDERFUL! She was methodical in her approach, followed down every lead imaginable, and delivered on what she said she would do, when she said she would. I cannot recommend her highly enough and I will be asking her to help me again.”

Tim Parker

“Diane did a professional, well documented search for my Webb ancestors. She completed the project within the time frame, wrote a thorough report on what had been found, where she had looked, and what we need to focus on in the future. She was professional in all her correspondence and a delight. I recommend her most highly.”

Linda Fields

“Diane was GREAT to work with. We had excellent communications on my project. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially when it comes to New England genealogy. I plan on eventually working with her again on another project.”

John M. Wedeward, Stoughton, Wisconsin

“Simply put. She’s the BEST. You will find her to be articulate in her communications with you. She clearly states the facts however she finds them. She works very hard and is equally diligent with your time. I highly recommend her. Diane Rapaport is the right person in the right place at the right time to get you started or make that breakthrough you need. I personally look forward to working with her again.”

David R. Risley

“Diane provided excellent, exhaustive research. Outstanding detailed reports of the research performed and leads followed – even consulting other experts on particularly vexing aspects of my specific project. Top-notch, highly-accessible, and all delivered within the agreed time frame. If you get a chance to hire Diane on your project, do it.”

Michael Butler, Houston, Texas

“This is the second time I have used Diane’s service and I continue to be impressed by her thoroughness, level of detail and high quality back up documentation she provides. She has saved me from several dark blind alleys, set me on the right path and more importantly provided me the tips and tools I need to source critical data for myself. I have enjoyed working with Diane and won’t hesitate to connect with her again.”

Blake Daley

“I could not be more pleased with the service Diane provided. She was responsive, and incredibly thorough. My family has been trying to figure out one set of ancestors for years, and Diane added more clarity and insight in just a few hours than the rest of us could add after years of research. If you have any interest in understanding genealogy in Massachusetts in the 1600s and 1700s, I doubt you will find anyone better than Diane.”

Michael R.

“The project turned out to be much bigger than either of us had anticipated, but Diane did a fabulous job of completing it and supplied me with excellent photos of all the documents. I could not have done this myself, and her legal knowledge and skill and prompt completion of the work were invaluable to me. I would highly recommend Diane, especially for work requiring legal expertise!”

Barbara McManus

“The depth and completeness of Diane’s research surprised me as I wasn’t expecting so much. Diane’s research has helped me break down one of my thickest brick walls. I will continue to use Diane for future research assignments.”

          Raymond Bragg

“I found Diane Rapaport very methodical and thorough. She broke through road blocks that kept me frustrated for over 20 years. This was a worthy investment; a wonderful sleuthing job by Diane Rapaport! I would recommend her highly to all curious of their roots. Ms. Rapaport will get answers!”

Tim Dunn

“Diane Rapaport was very professional and thorough. She completed my project successfully and promptly.”

Katherine Mendenhall

“Diane was a pleasure to work with! She was always available to discuss information and gave detailed results. I would recommend her highly for anyone researching their New England ancestors.”

         S. M.

“Diane did a thorough job checking records that were not available to me on-line. She was able to come up with some excellent clues to my family line. Very professional.”

Tim Cadden

“Diane was very professional, knowledgeable and prompt in her research, her reports and her response time to me. I appreciated her comments and insights and was thoroughly pleased with the overall project and Diane’s participation in it. I am planning on using her again for another project in the very near future.”

        Donald Taft

“Diane Rapaport did a marvelous, and speedy, job of hunting down my ancestor. The best was the concise – and easy to read – final report. . . . Great job!”

Phyllis Moore

“Diane helped refine the scope of work that best suited my goal and conducted the research in a most timely and professional manner. I recommend her highly. She’s a real pro!”

Dan Doherty

“Diane did a thorough job checking New England records not available to me on-line. She was easy to talk to and worked quickly. She knows what kinds of records are available and what they mean – in other words, she’s experienced and professional.”

Paul R.

“Diane translated a will for me that had been written in longhand in 1852. It would be impossible for me to say too many nice things about this lady
and her abilities. I had this will in my possession for years and had stared at it for hours trying to figure out what some of the words were. There

were about 20 words I could never figure out. In about 24 hours Diane had it completed translated for me and much to my delight confirmed
i
that some of the things I thought it said – it really did say. She is fantastic, trust her with any project.
”

Ray Asbery, Round Rock, Texas

“Diane is very professional, friendly and thorough in her research. She completed the project in a timely manner and provided a detailed accounting of her findings, including documentation. I gladly recommend her services.”
