Founder And President
Drummond Research LLC was established in 2004 by Jaye Matthew Drummond, MA, an expert genealogist and historian with an aptitude for exhaustive lineage reconstruction and archival analysis. He holds a Master of Arts in History, with academic specializations in Military History, Colonial North America, and Medieval and Early Modern Europe, and is the winner of several prestigious scholarships.
Mr. Drummond’s more than twenty years of professional research experience includes years as a field operative for a leading licensed private investigator in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as well as more than a decade as a professional land title abstractor in the District of Columbia and Ohio. He is also a former senior researcher and international on-site research manager at one of the largest genealogy research firms in the United States, where he oversaw the efforts of a network of curated, specialist genealogy research agents positioned throughout the globe.
Today, his genealogy research capabilities encompass Colonial North America, 19th Century and 20th Century United States, African-American Genealogy, Genetic Genealogy, and deep archival history and genealogy research in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Eastern Europe, Brazil, Italy, and beyond.
Jaye specializes in the reconstruction of transatlantic migrations, including the identification and tracing of royal gateway ancestor lines. Aa such, he is adept at lineage society application research and the creation of scholarly historical and genealogical monographs, including landmark personal family history volumes.
He is also a master at demolishing genealogy brick walls, especially in the Southern United States, where burned counties often defeat the less experienced genealogist.
