I have been working for a while on an individual who was born about 1783 in Leitrim, Ireland. there is actually quite a bit of information about men of his name -- Robert Newcomen Algeo -- in the historical records. In fact, there is so much information, including about 4 marriages, that I suspect that I have got more than one man.
But the point is this: I've collected, documented, analyzed, to the limits of my current ability. what I want, and am more than happy to pay for, is for someone who knows more about the source materials than i do, and who is used to thinking about genealogical puzzles, to look over what I've compiled, and tell me how they might analyze what I have collected. I'm not interested in more data collection at this point -- although would be happy to listen to suggestions about sources that might be consulted that I haven't found so far.
So what I would like to find is a skilled family historian who would be willing to look at about an 8 page paper, which I believe to be reasonably coherent and straightforward, and give me an opinion about just what it might be safe to conclude, and where one might look further. Does anyone have any suggestions about genealogists who might undertake this, or have you had any experience with someone doing this kind of consultation with you?
I recognize that it might be more appropriate to send me a private message with names of individuals.
Thanks --
