Provenance, the ownership history of a work of art, can be essential to establishing authenticity and maintaining value. I welcome the opportunity to confirm and document incomplete information or “family legend”. 

Authentication is generally only provided by a specific scholar or committee that is widely recognized within the art world as the preeminent authority on an artist. Although I cannot authenticate your artwork, I can assist you in determining whether or not authentication is necessary, engage in authentication-related research, help you determine if an item is not authentic, and guide you through the authenticity process.
