Genealogy Research

​​

Genealogy research is billed at by the hour, with a minimum charge of three hours. Additional costs may apply for copies or records. The fee covers the time spent researching and locating records, not the results. Keep in mind that the time invested may not always yield the desired outcomes, as every family has its secrets.

​

With 20 years of experience, I am committed to using all available resources to uncover records, stories, and photos to help you piece together your family history. I can also use DNA for genetic genealogy to identify unknown parents or confirm the accuracy of your family tree.

DIY

​

Whether you're working within a budget or simply enjoy being hands-on in your genealogy journey, I'm here to help. We can meet regularly or occasionally to review your progress and provide personalized advice on your next steps. My hourly rate remains the same, but the time spent will be significantly less.

​

Getting Started

​

To begin, gather all relevant materials such as family bibles, records, notes, and photos. If you haven’t already, consider taking a DNA test, which can provide valuable insights. I can guide you in selecting the best test for your research needs.

​

​We will start with a free consultation to discuss your research objectives—whether it’s discovering unknown relatives, verifying family rumors, or exploring your ancestry. Based on this discussion, I will create a plan and provide an estimate of the time required to achieve your goals.
