Welcome

Genealogy isn’t just about finding records, it’s about evaluating evidence, resolving conflicts, and reaching conclusions that are accurate and defensible. Online trees and databases can provide clues, but they don’t verify information or explain why something is true.

A professional genealogist applies trained judgment, experience, and recognized research standards to your family history. Records are analyzed across multiple sources, contradictions are addressed, and conclusions are clearly documented with full citations. When evidence is insufficient, that’s stated honestly.

Professional genealogy follows ethical and methodological principles promoted by organizations such as the Association of Professional Genealogists, ensuring work that is transparent, responsible, and reliable. When accuracy matters, for legacy, identity, or clarity professional research makes the difference.

Our pricing is $100 per hour in packaged blocks of time.  Minimum block is 2 hours

 Because professional genealogy is skilled investigative work. The rate reflects experience, methodology, and the time required to analyze and document evidence — not just “searching.” 

 Absolutely. And many clients do.
But online trees don’t evaluate evidence, resolve conflicts, or document why a conclusion is correct. That’s where professional research adds value. 

No ethical genealogist guarantees answers.

We do guarantee thorough, honest research and clear reporting on what can, and cannot,  be proven with available evidence. 

Genealogical questions rarely resolve in an hour. Minimum research blocks ensure time for meaningful progress, proper analysis, and useful conclusions 

 Yes. All reports, citations, and findings belong to you and may be shared, published, or continued by another researcher if you choose.
