Hi, I’m Dan Hamilton, a professional genealogist, consultant, and coach, based in Massachussetts. Welcome to my website!

Discovering those who came before you and contributed to who you are today is an amazing and satisfying experience.

It has been so for me and I think it can be for you as well.

I am a retired professional actor and Emmy-Award-winning director. I began my own genealogical journey over 35 years ago. I did research for family, friends, and eventually clients.

I am now a member of the Association of Professional Genealogy, the National Genealogical Society, the New England Chapter of the APG, the Central Massachusetts Genealogical Society, and I hold a A-Grade Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University.

I have completed Jill Morelli’s CDG course as preparation for applying for certification with the Board for Certification of Genealogists (CG), and I am currently a member of ProGen 69, a peer-review group of other professionals.

I am also active in DNA research with projects on numerous sites and services. These days while researching, I am frequently assisted by my son, John Hamilton.

Please note the APG Code of Ethics link at the bottom of these pages. Feel free to visit and explore and confirm the standards of our research.

If I can be of assistance to you, either by coaching, consulting, or researching, or if you simply have questions, please fill out the contact form in the top menu, and I will respond.

Thanks for visiting, much appreciated.

There are some free genealogical resources available in the menu across the top. Help yourself, and good luck with your own research.

Best, Dan
