Research/Interpersonal

"Fabulous, just fabulous! Michael, I could not be happier with the research you have provided. Being 2 states away, it was not possible for me to access public and church records in Pennsylvania. You have been a valuable and trustworthy resource that has made my research easier and faster."

Randy Davis, client - Richmond, VA - 2009

"It has been great working with Michael. I very much recommend him for your research needs!"

Volunteer/Self-motivation
"Mike McCormick has undeniably been a great asset to the BYU-Idaho Family History Center. As a volunteer he has developed a full Internet presence for the Family History Center that is another important tool to involve University students in family history research. He not only created a BYU-Idaho FHC Facebook page and a blog site but has updated our FamilySearch Research Wiki page and our Twitter account, tying these, along with our University FHC website and our library research guides all together into one cohesive Internet presence. While doing this he has been very patient and willing to spend the time necessary to teach us the mechanics and concepts of all parts of our Internet presence. We will miss him when he graduates."

Douglas and Aldene Poole, FHC Directors - BYU-Idaho - 2011

"Mike McCormick is the best genealogist and the most knowledgeable person I know. He can answer any question I might have about my genealogy problems either about research or how to use any research program. He is always willing to help others."

Mary L. Deibler, FHC Director - Gettysburg, PA - 2007

Academic/Teamwork

"I was privileged to have Michael McCormick as a student at Brigham Young University in my 'Writing Family History' class (History 433). He was an outstanding student and did an excellent job researching and writing a history of his family."

Nancy NeSmith, Professor - Brigham Young University - 2009

"I am happy to recommend Michael McCormick as a very proficient and dedicated genealogist, who goes the second mile in his research for clients, and also weaves in the historical and social contexts, to create a well-rounded product."

Gerald M. Haslam, PhD - Brigham Young University - 2008

"Michael and I took a genealogy class together at BYU. The class required a lot of team work and effort. Michael was a good team worker and provided a lot of valuable data to our group projects. I can recommend him for any genealogy-related job for which he is qualified."
