"Based on conversations I've overheard in darkened microfilm reading rooms  ...it seems that many of us are inspired to explore our family histories at  least in part  due to stories heard from grandparents and great-grandparents.  A typical lament goes something like this: "You know, my  grandmother told me all these  things  when I was a kid, but I didn't care about it then. If only I had l listened more closely." 

Suppose for a moment that you could indeed recover those stories. Suppose  you could hear those voices again. Wouldn’t it have been unbelievably good fortune if one of those conversations had been recorded and you could listen to it now? Why not make that dream come true for your family?"   Let's do an oral history of your family this holiday season!

                           HIGH QUALITY 
                    CUSTOM RESEARCH
                      BY EXPERIENCED     
                        PROFESSIONALS

We are professional genealogists with decades of experience solving difficult and hard to find ancestors.   We research your family  history with the same rigor, enthusiasm, and tenacity as we do our own.

Our focus is on quality family histories and getting answers you seek using senior, highly experienced researchers.  We do NOT use template reports managed by intermediaries and conducted by lesser experienced researchers. Plus our rates are significantly LOWER than these corporate genealogy organizations.

Client satisfaction and results are our focus and that's reflected in our extremely high repeat business and client referrals. We build relationships that last.  

Your priorities determine the process.   Budgets are adhered to.  Promises are kept.  Deadlines are met.  Communication lines are always open. Flexibility to roll with the inevitable twists and turns that happen in all of our families histories is critical. We have a high level of success even the most challenging ancestors.

Our researchers have been active for decades through through contributions in professional and popular publications such as Assocation for Professional Genealogists Quarterly,  Ancestry.com, Ancestry's  Research Cornerstones magazine and other scholarly, historical, and juried publications. 

We research your family  history with the same rigor, enthusiasm, and tenacity as we do our own.
