Getting Started

Need help finding and adding new branches to your family tree?

Our research director utilizes qualified professional genealogists to help you, whether you have hit a roadblock in your research or simply lack the time to do it yourself.

Tracing one's ancestry is like solving a mystery. A researcher examines public and private records to gather facts and clues about your family’s past. Then, the pieces fit together in the form of a research report and accompanying documentation, family group sheets, and pedigree charts to construct a well-documented family tree. Our services have been designed to meet all your research needs at the most reasonable costs the field of professional genealogy allows. 

Step 1

Meeting your research goals requires more detailed information than a short sentence provides. A friendly research consultant will contact you to learn more about your goals and explain what we will do to try to reach them. We want to hear family stories, find out how much research you have already done, and if you have family trees or documents to share with us. 

Step 2

You will complete a “Family Tree Research Packet” before research can begin if you are starting out and nobody has done anything to your knowledge regarding working on your family tree. We will study it carefully and contact you again if we need more details. If you have your genealogy somewhere else, we will review what you have instead of the Family Tree Research Packet. Then, we create a research plan and estimate how long it will take to complete your project.

Step 3

Research begins with accessing records online, ordering documents from record keepers worldwide, and bringing in international agents to lend a hand when necessary. A consultant can update you throughout the process. 

Step 4

Each project can be assembled into a printed booklet with a Research Report, Document Calendar, and photocopies or extracts of the documents used to verify your family tree. You can also order extra copies of reports for family members.

It All Starts By Telling Us About Your Family!
