Family histories can be complex woven tapestries that shine a light on our ancestors, their extraordinary lives, struggles, hardships, joys, and accomplishments.  It gives us perspective and context, therefore it is imperative that their stories be memorialized for future generations. We stand on their shoulders and they have helped to shape who we are today.  We are here to assist you in researching your family history and weaving together a narrative of their lives. Please keep in mind that each case is unique and no two are alike. We will discuss any questions that you may have and a research question/hypothesis will be formulated. The scope of work will be discussed and a cost analysis will be performed. Our services include on-site and off-site repository research; document retrieval; in-depth document inspection, review, and analysis; preparation of a professionally written report.
