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!

Family History Books

Your ancestors lived full and interesting lives, yet it is easy for their accomplishments to be forgotten. Preserve their legacy in a customized book. We can create an ancestor book that captures key elements of your ancestor’s life with documents and pictures. Or we can write a full family history preserved in a hardbound book. The project is customized to meet your needs and budget. Also check out our customized family trees.

Reading Old Handwriting

It doesn’t usually take long to get to a point in your research where you have to decipher someone else’s handwriting.  Really, the title of this post could simply be, “Reading Handwriting,” as the newest of handwriting can be just as challenging as older handwriting. One of the more helpful websites I have found is […]

Happy Veteran’s Day

My father served in Vietnam, and I love talking with him on Veteran’s Day every year. I’m so grateful for the many men and women who have served our country! Do you have a parent, grandparent, or other relative who has served in the military? If you do, it is well worth the time and […]
