Mission
The Prairie Roots Research mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the past by reconstructing forgotten lives, that their experiences and wisdom may be honored, understood, and shared. Our services include genealogical & historical research, teaching, and writing for clients who seek superior, source-cited results. We are dedicated to achieving client satisfaction through the highest levels of professionalism, research standards and reporting excellence.
Discover your past…Discover yourself
Every family has a story to tell. Whether your ancestors arrived on the Mayflower, came through Ellis Island or only recently made America their home, all have played a part in the great American experience. It is not only natural to wonder about those brave souls who left familiar surroundings for an unknown country, it is essential to our understanding of ourselves and our place in history.
Reaching Goals
Whether you are just beginning your family history journey, or you’ve been researching for a while and have reached a “brick wall,” professional assistance can enhance your experience and help you achieve your goals.
Alice Hoyt Veen is a Board-certified Genealogist (SM) specializing in Iowa and Midwestern research. She can help with your project whether it be large or small–-from locating a single obituary to compiling a multi-generational family history you’ll treasure for years to come.
