Best for: Those wanting to trace their direct lineage back several generations and establish a solid foundational family tree.

What’s Included:

• Direct-line ancestral research (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc.).

• Census, birth, marriage, and death record cross-referencing.

• A clear, easy-to-read final family tree chart and summary report.

For your Basic Family Tree Package, an industry standard is 4 generations (which typically includes parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, bringing you back to the great-great-grandparents generation).

It covers roughly the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, where US Federal Census records, birth/marriage/death certificates, and social security data are widely available and accessible.

Best for: Tackling stubborn brick walls, hunting down elusive immigration/naturalization records, or exploring deeper archival and historical lines.

What’s Included:

• Comprehensive research into collateral lines, military records, or specific geographic/historical archives.

• In-depth investigation to break through specific family tree “brick walls.”

• A detailed, beautifully organized narrative report along with copies of historical source documents and vital records.

For your Deep-Dive Ancestry Package, you can push past that—going back 6+ generations or following specific collateral lines, immigration roots, and older colonial or European records where brick walls start appearing.

Best for: Clients whose ancestors immigrated to North America and want to track down ships’ passenger manifests, naturalization papers, and their exact European origins.

What’s Included:

• Focused research on immigration, port-of-arrival records (such as Castle Garden or Ellis Island), and naturalization petitions.

• Search for passenger manifests and cross-referencing census data to find the exact hometown or village abroad.

• A dedicated immigration narrative report detailing their journey and arrival.

Best for: Clients who have hit a dead end on a specific ancestor and just need a targeted burst of expert research to solve that one mystery.

What’s Included:

• A focused, deep-dive investigation targeting a single genealogical roadblock (e.g., a missing marriage record, an unverified parentage, or a lost ancestor in a census gap).

• Exhaustive review of local archives, tax lists, land deeds, and probate/will records.

• A concise “Case Closed” report explaining the breakthrough findings and source documentation.
