About Arborea Genealogy
Arborea Genealogy Chicago is the creation of Michael Hovar, an independent genealogist with over fifteen years of experience. Michael has been intensely engaged in researching his own family, traveling around the country and even to Europe to uncover the branches of his tree. He is also well-versed in the growing field of modern genealogical resources available online, as well as many of the state and local facilities located in the Chicago area and throughout Illinois and the Midwest. With his expertise, Arborea Genealogy has uncovered generation after generation of forgotten ancestors and relatives for its clients, and we want to do the same for you.
"I would absolutely recommend Arborea’s services to those who are interested in finding out more information on their family’s history, but that do not want to spend a ton of money using a web service... I received information from several generations back that no one in my living family had ever seen before. It was an exciting process for me, and my grandparents were especially happy with what we received. As a family man, Michael has a passion for history and researching genealogy which shine through in his work."
- Brittney Woosley, 2012
