BEHIND EVERY NAME
A story worth getting right.
MORE THAN ANOTHER NAME ON A BRANCH
A record hint is a beginning.
The careful work comes next.
Does that census belong to your ancestor? Is a birth date supported by an original record? Did someone copy an error into your tree?
Answering those questions means comparing names, ages, places, relatives and records—not simply accepting a suggested match. I do that detailed work for you, then explain the evidence and the conclusions clearly.
Improve what’s missing.
Investigate gaps, correct supported errors and strengthen source documentation. Preserve genuine disagreements honestly.
Understand the difference.
See what improved, why it matters and what can be researched next. Proved new relatives are a welcome bonus.

Outer Perimeter Research
Build a more balanced family tree. Starting with the nearest agreed ancestral generation across your selected branches, I verify facts, investigate gaps and strengthen sources. I work through accessible improvements in that layer before moving farther back.
A difficult question on one branch does not prevent useful work on another. This approach gives more of your tree attention instead of concentrating all the effort on one distant line.
Strengthen my tree across branches ↗Branch Research
Follow the line that matters to you. Choose an ancestor, family or ancestral line. I check existing connections, improve documentation and investigate earlier generations wherever the evidence supports the next step.
Best for a particular surname, family story or line you want explored in greater depth.
Explore a selected family line ↗Parent Search
Who were their parents? Starting with one person, I compare historical records, relatives, locations and name variations to investigate a missing parent or parent pair.
Your report distinguishes supported identifications, competing possibilities and unresolved questions. A Parent Search can also be an objective within either broader approach; an identification is not guaranteed.
Investigate a missing parent ↗YOUR WORK, MADE VISIBLE

- 02 / AGREE
Define the project
We agree the selected profiles, package and delivery schedule before research and payment arrangements.
- 03 / REVIEW
Research and document
I assess accessible records, investigate conflicts and record supported improvements with before-and-after evidence.
- 04 / RECEIVE
Receive your project
Quality reviews include the illustrated report and printable comparisons. Starter projects include the new tree link and a summary of immediate-family connections and unresolved details.
CHOOSE YOUR STARTING POINT
Focused attention.
Lasting value.
Choose your research approach, then your package. The package determines the research budget; the approach determines where that effort goes. Either or both parental sides can be included within agreed profiles and time. No tree yet? Start with the separate $50 setup package.
NEW TO FAMILY TREES? / START HERE
Your first family tree.
$50 USD · IMMEDIATE-FAMILY SETUP
I create your starter family tree and connect your immediate family: parents, siblings, spouse or partner, and children as applicable. We use the information you provide and check proposed connections before linking relatives. Connections to existing ancestral profiles are made when supported.
This is immediate-family setup, not an extensive ancestry investigation. Deeper research and quality reviews are separate packages.
How to get started
- Choose the $50 starter package and prepare your project email.
- Tell me who you want included and which tree platform you use—or ask for help choosing.
- After we confirm scope and privacy arrangements, provide relatives’ names, relationships, approximate dates and places, and any known tree links privately by email. Never send account passwords.
- I set up the tree, make supported immediate-family connections and send you the tree link with a summary of what was created and what still needs evidence.
A clearer foundation.
$150USD
Four hours of research and reporting on selected existing profiles, using your chosen research approach.
- Agreed priority people and questions
- Fact verification and gap investigation
- Illustrated report + printable comparisons
A deeper look.
$300USD
Twelve hours of research and reporting directed toward the agreed profiles and branches.
- Broader evidence and conflict review
- Documented, supported improvements
- Illustrated report + printable comparisons
A thorough review.
$500USD
An extensive existing-tree project carried out over two working days. The total working-hour budget is agreed in writing before purchase.

- Illustrated report + printable comparisons
04 / ULTRA RESEARCH PROJECT
Go further into your family’s origins.
$1,000USD
An expanded version of the $500 Extensive Project with twice its agreed working-hour budget, carried out over four working days. Professional research techniques combine with deeper country-specific investigation and relevant paid access to premium historical records.
- Everything in the $500 Extensive Project
- Twice the agreed research and reporting time
- Regional archives and country-specific record investigation
- Relevant premium record access included within the agreed $1,000 scope
- Illustrated research report + separate printable trees, delivered together in one ZIP
Countries, access costs and actual working hours are confirmed before purchase. Some records remain restricted or unavailable. No additional charges without your agreement; particular discoveries cannot be guaranteed.
Choose Ultra Research ↗Delivery timing is confirmed for your selected package before purchase. Ultra is planned over four working days; the Extensive Project over two. Working days are scheduled project days, not continuous 24-hour periods. Research and report preparation both count toward the agreed working-hour budget.
BEFORE WE BEGIN
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Are you building a new family tree for me?
Yes, if you choose the $50 starter-tree package. I create a family tree and connect your immediate family using supplied information and supported relationships. You receive the tree link and a setup summary. The $150, $300, $500 and $1,000 packages focus on improving an existing tree; their printable views show reviewed branches before and after the work.
Will you find new ancestors?
New connections can be exciting, but they depend on the evidence. They are a possible bonus, not a guaranteed outcome. Verified facts and clearer documentation are valuable improvements in their own right.
What happens if you find no useful results?
If the first 30 minutes identify no new information or evidence-backed improvement, I will report that and consider a refund before continuing. If useful results are found, work continues under the agreed package and its full price applies. Every completed package includes a written account of the work and findings.
Do you need my login or DNA information?
No account passwords or DNA files are requested. For an existing tree, start with its link or profile IDs. For the $50 starter option, tell me you have no tree; we agree the platform, permitted access and how to keep living relatives private before setup. DNA imagery is part of the report design; laboratory testing and genetic-match analysis are not included.
Which research approach should I choose?
Outer Perimeter Research is recommended for balanced coverage across selected branches at an agreed generation. Branch Research concentrates on one ancestral line. Parent Search investigates one person’s missing parent or parents, and can also fit within either broader approach. The package sets the effort budget, not a guaranteed number of generations, relatives or corrections.
What does Ultra include?
The $1,000 Ultra project extends the $500 Extensive Project to twice its agreed working-hour budget over four working days. It adds deeper country-specific investigation and relevant premium record access within the agreed price and scope. Access does not guarantee a surviving record or a discovery. Countries, actual hours, access costs and delivery timing are confirmed before purchase; no additional charges are made without agreement.
What records do you use?
Accessible online documentary records, with originals checked where available. Original documents, indexes and tree assertions are distinguished. Restricted or unavailable records and remaining contradictions are identified rather than treated as resolved.
