Testimonials

My experience with Kathy Chung has proved to be outstanding. She has taken genuine interest and shown caring attentiveness in researching for my large project, the dream of presenting my elderly Mother with her genealogy.  The palpable enthusiasm she feels for her work partners perfectly with her extensive knowledge and skills. Kathy truly goes that extra golden mile.    Bronwen

It is through long experience that I have learned Kathy Chung is a master of strategic organization. I am a long time attendee at SiWC, where she has been the conference coordinator for almost two decades. The conference is well run, efficient and effective. Kathy has, through consistent action, shown a proven ability to manage and mitigate obstacles, and pivot to avoid crisis. I trust her implicitly, and think you should, too. Tyner Gillies

I asked Kathy to help plan a three week driving holiday for my husband and me through the Scottish Highlands and Islands to explore locations important to our family history and allow time for my husband’s professional photography. Kathy’s suggested route managed to include all of my “must sees” as well as spectacular scenic destinations for photography, while minimizing how long we needed to travel each day to accomplish our goals. Because of Kathy’s detailed research into our family tree, we were able to visit the homes of grandparents and great grandparents, visit the castle where my grandfather was a gardener and many other meaningful sites we would never have found without her help. She was able to explain the history of the people involved which made it all come to life. The list of potential accommodations Kathy suggested turned out to be excellent. She found everything from small village inns to Manor House hotels, all of them great. We encountered an unexpected change of plans at one point which required a sudden change of ferry and accommodation reservations.  Kathy handled the changes seamlessly. W&G, Canada
