How it happens
How we research your family.
Research for our clients is conducted using only the best records and archives. We perform fully documented, scholarly research, with a focus on primary records. This is possible because we focus on finding the best records no matter where the records are stored. We access records source material from the billions of records kept at the world’s best genealogy archive, the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, as well as other archives throughout the world and primary online records databases.
Bronze
Our bronze genealogy package is specially designed for those just starting with their genealogy or who have very targeted, short questions. It is appropriate for those who are seeking ancestors between 1850 and 1930. These projects usually research just one person or one question.
Silver Package
Our Silver Genealogy Package is designed for people who want to work on more difficult research cases and cases involving more than one person. This standard genealogy project is well suited for most people with research in the United States and people whose ancestors are established in their country of origin.
Gold Package
Our Gold Genealogy Package is designed for complex and longer genealogy projects. These projects include research involving several families, immigration research, and colonial research. Midway through the Gold Genealogy Project, you will receive an update from one of our professional genealogists. This is a perfect place to start with your more difficult and longer cases!

Ancestor Books
/in General, Writing Family Histories /by Suzannah BeasleyWe have had some questions about what an ancestor book looks like, so we made this video to answer that question.
