Our Genealogy Services

Are you ready to uncover your family's story? We offer a range of professional genealogy services to help you discover your ancestors, break through research roadblocks, and preserve your family's legacy. We begin with a free consultation to discuss your goals and determine the best approach for your project.

1. Initial Project Assessment

Every successful research project starts with a clear plan. Our Initial Project Assessment is the best way to begin your journey.

How it Works: We'll dedicate up to two hours to review your existing research, analyze your goals, and assess the feasibility of your project. We'll identify potential challenges, locate key starting points, and outline a realistic research strategy.

What You Get: A detailed report outlining our assessment and a recommended research plan with an estimated number of hours needed to answer your question.

Your Investment: $100. This fee will be credited toward any research package you purchase within 30 days.

This assessment ensures that your expectations are aligned with the reality of genealogical research and helps you make a confident decision about your next steps.

2. Core Research Packages

These packages are for clients ready to commit to a focused research project. Each package includes professional research and a comprehensive report of our findings—regardless of the outcome.
