FAQs

When tracing family history, eventually everyone encounters problems they cannot solve alone. These problems may have several root causes. Perhaps you are new to family history research and need guidance or information about the research process. Maybe you are interested in learning about your family but do not have the time or inclination to research for yourself. You may need someone to retrieve a document or photograph a headstone outside your local area. You may have taken a DNA test, received the results and are not sure what to do next or what the results mean. You may be looking for your birth family, biological children or heirs. We can offer education, consultation, a fresh perspective on solving mysteries, document retrieval and photography services, direct your research to possible solutions or carry out the research for you. 

Hiring a professional genealogist may not be as costly as you think. Most people who do their own research spend hundreds to thousands of dollars a year for subscriptions to websites and invest years learning to navigate them. Subscribing to just one of the most popular sites costs over $400 per year for access. They spend money on online tutorials, how-to books and magazines, research trips and computer equipment. Unfortunately, despite the investment in time and resources, some people only find frustration and questionable, poorly documented, often inaccurate information. Our services are affordable, with discounts for packaged hours. We offer a low cost CONSULTATION and ESTIMATE fee. You can spend a little for a small project, or invest more for a comprehensive multigenerational family tree. Our prices are competitive and much lower than larger companies.
