Mrs. Robert C. Forney (Marilyn Glenn Forney) of Unionville, PA:
“I have been pursuing my ancestry for 45 years and hired two other genealogists before I contracted with Mr. Dunn who is the only researcher who produced results. He was able to steer my research in the right direction by breaking down several brick walls in my ancestral lines and adding multiple generations to my family tree. His professional attitude is very accommodating to the needs of his clients and he receives my complete endorsement. Feel free to contact me at 610-486-6566 as a reference for Mr. Dunn.
Marilyn G. Forney”
