About the work

A closer look.

Tell me one real place that matters to you, a street, a house, a village, a hill, and I go to the record and write what actually happened there. Newspapers, maps, censuses, deeds, published archaeology. Up to about 900 words, sources attached, and an honest line on what is proven, what is guessed, and what is lost. Seen vs guessed is always marked. If the record is thin, I tell you that instead of padding it. First I confirm the place and scope with you; then I deliver within 7 days. One revision included.
