Hire a Genealogist

Traditional, paper-based professional genealogy is not dead–in fact it’s very much alive. Despite dramatic advances in DNA technology, genetic genealogy cannot exist in a vacuum. It must be utilized in conjunction with traditional genealogy research. That means hunting down and properly interpreting original primary source documents or their digital and microfilm reproductions. Whether done online or in person at courthouses, libraries, and archives around the globe, professional genealogy is the bedrock upon which the rest of the genealogy world rests.

Genealogy is more than just names and dates–it’s a story about our lives. Who wouldn’t want to read a family biography telling the story of our ancestors? Writing a biography that tells the tale is what we do.
