Help getting you started through teaching, discussion, hands on work at home or at the local research facilities. For beginners, this service incorporates hands-on instruction, beginning with what you have at home and what you may already know, followed by instruction on online resources, and possible tours and hands-on research of the local resources and facilities.
The time required is at the discretion of the client or as necessitated by the specific consultation project. For beginners, 3 or 4 hours of overview and hands-on instruction is generally recommended to effectively and successfully begin new family history research.
Help determining your next step in your research, providing tips and techniques. Discussing what other records to search and other sources and resources that may be available and beneficial.

Help getting past the brick wall in your research through in-depth consultation. For long time, and experienced researchers, this service provides a second set of eyes and a fresh look. Your research will be reviewed, and insight, research tips and suggestions will be provided. The time required is at the discretion of the client or as necessitated by the specific consultation project.
Historical research or consultation of regions, subjects and specific events with or without particular emphasis on your ancestor's relationship to history.
This service provides assistance with reading difficult documents, or transcribing documents as needed. When sending a document to be read and transcribed, please indicate specifically where it was obtained, including the name of the facility, the catalog or microfilm number, plus the state, county, book designation and type of record. If the copy is bad, being able to locate and review the original would be most beneficial.
Lectures are provided to genealogical organizations, or organizations who would like to provide an interesting and new topic at their organizational meetings. Every effort to keep the presentation within an hour is made but, as genealogy is an extremely vast subject, is not guaranteed. An overhead and screen is required, and reimbursement for handouts is expected. Two months for advanced planning would be desired.
Presentation Topics:
Many people ask how long does it take to research family history? To be perfectly honest, there is no firm answer. Everyone’s family is unique; as unique as each individual. One person’s family can be difficult and time-consuming while another family can be easy and successful in a very short time. But anyone who has researched their family history will tell you, the fun is in the search and discovery.
When you are ready, contact us to learn how to get started.
Fee For All Services: $30.00 per hour; $20.00 for one-half hour.
