Every Family Story Is Unique. Your Research Plan Should Be Too.

Every family history project is unique, and every investment should reflect the work required to uncover it. That's why I believe in complete transparency from our very first conversation. Before any research begins, we'll discuss your goals, create a personalized research plan, and clearly outline the recommended investment, timeline, and deliverables so you can move forward with confidence.

Simple, Straightforward Pricing.

Professional genealogy research is billed at $65 per hour.

Many clients choose one of the recommended research plans below as the ideal place to begin, while others require a customized proposal based on their unique research objectives.

Why Professional Genealogy Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All.

Unlike purchasing a standard product or service, genealogy research cannot be accurately priced without first understanding your family's unique story. Record availability, geographic locations, historical time periods, missing documentation, and conflicting evidence all influence the amount of research required.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all fee, I recommend the level of research that best fits your goals. It's an honest, collaborative approach that respects both your expectations and your investment.

Every project begins with clarity, continues with collaboration, and ends with confidence.

I'd be honored to help you uncover the stories waiting in your family tree.

A Process Built on Trust.

I believe you should always know exactly what to expect before research begins.

That's why every project follows the same transparent process:

Complimentary Consultation

We begin with a no-obligation conversation about your family history, your goals, and the questions you'd like answered.

Personalized Research Plan

I'll prepare a customized proposal outlining the recommended research, estimated timeline, deliverables, and your investment.

Your Approval

You'll review everything before work begins. Once approved, we'll sign a simple agreement outlining the project's scope, protecting both of us and ensuring we're working toward the same goals.

Research & Progress Updates

As your project progresses, you'll receive regular updates every 5–10 hours, along with discoveries, source citations, and detailed explanations of the research completed.

Final Report

Every completed project follows the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) and includes professionally documented conclusions, complete source citations, and, when appropriate, recommendations for future research.
