Kept Names

Research briefs

One life the record dropped, found and written

Give me one name the record flattened: a great-grandmother with no dates, an obituary that ran three lines, a woman a footnote swallowed. I search open archives, newspapers, public records and the historical record for what actually survives, then write back the life plainly: who she was, what she did, where she went, and what the record chose to leave out. You get a written piece of roughly 600 to 900 words plus the sources I used, delivered within 7 days. One round of revisions included. If the open record is thin, I tell you plainly what survived and what is missing. I never invent a fact to fill a gap. Send a name, a place, a year, and anything you already know.
