Consultation
$150 | 45–60 minutes
A preliminary review of existing family information and research goals to assess feasibility, identify relevant records, and recommend the appropriate research pathway.
No original archival research is conducted during the consultation.
Individual Ancestor Research
$450
Focused research on one named individual to clarify identity, relationships, and historical context using available documentary records.
Includes:
Identity resolution and same-name analysis
Census appearances and basic vital records
Location and household reconstruction
Confirmation of documented relationships
Single-Lineage Research

Documentary research tracing one direct ancestral line (e.g., paternal grandfather's line) through historical records up to the 1870 U.S. Census.
Includes:
One continuous parent-to-parent lineage
Source citations
Written summary of findings
Multiple-Lineage Research
$1,500
Documentary research tracing two or more direct ancestral lines on one parental side (e.g., both paternal grandparent lines) up to the 1870 U.S. Census.
Includes:
Independent research on each lineage
Consolidated written summary
Source citations
DNA integration where applicable
Limited pre-1870 exploratory research for one selected lineage focused on identifying potential enslavers, locations, and record pathways only if documentation allows
Full-Lineage Research
$3,000
Comprehensive documentary research tracing all direct ancestral lines on both maternal and paternal sides up to the 1870 U.S. Census.
Includes:
Four or more direct lineages
Integrated documentation and analysis
Formal written research report with citations
DNA integration where applicable
Limited pre-1870 exploratory research for up to two selected lineages, focused on identifying potential enslavers, locations, and record pathways only if documentation allows
Extend Your Research: Add-Ons
Slavery-Era Extension
$500–$900 per lineage
A focused extension of lineage research into the slavery era for one selected ancestor when documentation allows. Recommended only when the researcher is confident that pre-1870 census research will be successful.
Includes:
Identification of likely enslavers or enslaving families (when supported by records)
Review of key probate, deed, or tax references
Documentation of known or probable locations prior to 1870
Summary of findings and record pathways for future research
