Genealogical Research Services

Whether you want to discover when a particular ancestor arrived in America, find evidence that your great-great-grandfather served in the Civil War, or identify your maternal great-grandmother, Kate can assist you with your genealogical research pursuits. Kate will work with you to formulate a research plan and research question(s) to accomplish your goals. Projects typically are completed by addressing one or two research questions at a time, the findings of which are outlined in a comprehensive research report. Projects are billed hourly, and outside expenses (i.e., repository fees, travel, parking, etc.) are billed to the Client. Most projects require 15 to 25 hours of research and writing time.
