About

I’m Carolyn E. Halladay, a professional genealogist recently relocated to the Boise area, and I have been conducting research for others since 1995. I started my research business in 2019. I want to find your family members, both dead and alive. My experience spans the digital and paper worlds; I know how and where to dig. I had great satisfaction solving the mystery of my mother’s Swedish surname (how is Pont Swedish?). Deciphering handwritten records from past ages is only one of my abilities.

By completing my University Studies Bachelor’s Degree with a Minor in Family History from BYU-Idaho in 2020, I have accomplished, I will have accomplished a goal over thirty years old. Every instructor has praised my ability to research, analyze, and report my findings. When I’m not studying or searching old documents, I am out walking in the beautiful countryside of Western Idaho or spending time with my kids and grandkids.
