Family Research

For most people, research begins with American Records and then proceeds into European records. We do this to make sure we are doing the research on a firm bedding including the original names of the individuals.

      American records generally include:
      Federal and State Census Records
      Naturalization Papers
      Passenger Manifests and Overland Arrivals
      Newspaper Death Notices
      Cemetery Research including tombstones
      Vital Records including birth, marriage, death
               (may be at an additional cost)

Once the initial phase of the project is completed, a research report is written for you about our findings. It generally is 10 - 20 pages with copies of documents found.

The report and documents are emailed to you in pdf format for your review. A hard copy is available as well. Further discussions on continued research possibilities will be discussed before proceeding.

If we have done the initial research in less than 10 hours, we will credit it towards your European research. Specialized subscription databases may be utilized at that time and will incur the at cost charge for access.

Most are minimal. All additional charges will be discussed with you prior to subscription. Any charges over $ 25 will require your acceptance.
