WHAT I OFFER
How I can help
Whether you're curious about a single ancestor or ready to trace an entire branch of your family, I offer flexible research services to match your goals.
CORE SERVICE
Family Research Report
My flagship service takes you from consultation to a complete, documented account of your family history.
Research & Narrative Report
$75 / HOUR · TYPICALLY 10 HOURS
We start with a free consultation to understand what you're looking for. I'll then send a written proposal outlining the research objective, scope, and fee. Upon payment, I get to work — and you'll receive a complete package when research is complete.
Every case is different, but 10 hours is usually enough to locate and establish family members going back to the great-grandparents.
YOU’LL RECEIVE:
A family tree diagram
A written narrative report of all findings
Recommendations for further research
