Frequently Asked Questions

The report includes all research and the creation of the report.  Any other fees for documents that need to be ordered to further research are not included.  If I feel that you may get more information by ordering a birth certificate, death certificate, etc, I will let you know and guide you through the process of ordering the documents. (If I can order I will ask you to send me the document fee amount via Paypal)

I am open to any questions via email before I start research or receive payment.  In order to research effectively, it generally helps to include any information you know about your most recent relatives.  This includes parents, grandparents, and if available, great grandparents.  Locations of residence and other information may be requested during research to narrow down the correct family.  

Once information is gathered I add the names and dates to create a tree.  Then, I am off to the races!  I go through each generation and add documents and other tidbits to the profiles.  Each generation must be proven!  Once I am done, I write a report with each generation.  I have a copy of a template I use here.  A link from OneNote is sent to you with the report.  I consider myself your dedicated genealogist and welcome updates to the report long after the report is emailed to you.  

I work tirelessly trying to find what I can that is available through online resources and local libraries.  If I do not feel that I have enough family history to provide I will either offer a refund through or I will work on another family line for you!

I provide all the information I can find using power of the internet.  Research generally takes three months, but it can take up to six months.  I will keep you updated as I go along to make sure that you are satisfied with my work.
