We look forward to creating a project that is unique to your needs, interests, and family background. Below are popular services, however, we are excited to brainstorm special ways to bring your heritage to life.
Other projects could include; archival assessments, video (documentary), oral histories, or displays. The possibilities to engage with your past are endless!
Genealogy can go so much further than just names and dates! We dig deeper and find out personal details and stories about your ancestors as individuals. These stories are then presented in engaging memoirs, and make a great gift to be passed down for generations. Our most exclusive offering, we only take on one narrative project at a time to give your family our full attention.
Genealogy reports track down members on your family tree. Whether starting from scratch or with a wide knowledge of your past, we go beyond online databases to ensure accurate primary research and context. These reports are a perfect option to create your own family archive and preserve that data for the future.
*Note the main difference between a family narrative and family report is that narratives do not include outright citations and focus on visual presentation that includes design and personal photographs. They are created to be "coffee table books," while reports are created to document the research methods and sources in your family tree.*

I'm a historian! I use genealogy to help people trace their family roots and build their family tree. However, I utilize skills from my training to authenticate, interpret, and provide context to the past. This provides more historical perspectives and layers to your personal story and goes deeper and further than genealogy alone.
That's why I'm here. Whether you know nothing about your past or have many documents or stories, it can be overwhelming. We will work together to determine what is most important or interesting to your family.
Every family has some. My training as a historian means I present history through the lens of the situational context. As we delve into your past, I will respect your vulnerability in exploring the good, bad, and all the in between. We often discover new complex elements to loved ones or unknown ancestors when we dig into the past. These are crucial components of authentic history and make your story unique.
Pricing varies depending on the scope of the project, and rates are charged hourly. The unpredictability and exciting nature of genealogy means that every project and research question is radically different. Contact us to learn more about our pricing options.
In general, the look of the final product always depends on the data a family has available to them and the scope of what exists in the historical record. (That's the fun of genealogy, you never know what you will find!)
Family history narratives include design elements and personal photographs, while family history reports focus on citing source material.
