Nel,

If this were my problem, I would consider taking it to the individual in the
link below. She has been certified in graphoanalysis since the mid-80s and
earned the Master designation in 1992. In 1998, I used her for a client
project that turned into an NGSQ test-case in the validity of applying
graphoanalysis to genealogical research (published as "Graphoanalysis and
James 'Major Jim' Ball: A Genealogical Test of a Psychological Tool,"
_National Genealogical Society Quarterly_ 86 [September 1998], 204-17.)
Much more recently, I've seen her scheduled on genealogical conference
programs in New England, though I've not heard one of those lectures.

I have no idea what her fee is now, but it was quite reasonable when I used
her.
