Lorraine Arnold, MA, buildings archaeologist & genealogist
I am a specialist in the research and investigation of buildings and the individuals associated with them. I also provide professional genealogy services for individuals who have hit a brick wall, and for attorneys who require documentation for estate probate. As an independent consultant, I have provided services to clients primarily in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, though I have performed work in Europe as well and am available to travel as needed.
Educationally, after a career as a paralegal, while on my way to law school, I took a detour into real estate and house histories which developed into researching the material details of buildings. After years of researching and providing reports for clients, I obtained my MA in historical archaeology from University of Leicester, England. To learn more about my education and work history download my CV or visit my LinkedIn page. Contact me to discuss details of your project or to schedule a speaking engagement.
