Genealogy Research Service

At Lasting Legacies, LLC., we offer general and in depth ancestry research, and much more. Contact us today to learn more about our genealogy research services.

Our professional genealogists underscore their excellent genealogy research with a professionally written report. The research report explains the step-by-step process, the reasons for each search, and an analysis of the results.

Anyone can go on the Internet and with a few clicks produce a pedigree. But skilled, seasoned professional genealogists know that the Internet is full of misinformation that may have been perpetuated through the generations. At Lasting Legacies, LLC., we use the clues provided by compiled sources, but we seek verification from the original documents.

Experienced professional genealogists know how to analyze information for accuracy. They can detect a variety of clues from a census or death certificate that will lead them to other record sources. A creative professional uses a variety of sources to piece together the ancestral lineage. These skills come from many years of experience.

What do I get with your Genealogy Research Service?

The capstone of our professional genealogical research is the bound research report, presented to the client upon completion of the project, or sent by Priority Mail. In the report, the researcher explains the significance of each document in a clear and concise manner. Professional genealogists have the capability to analyze various aspects of each document, and the implications and clues provided. All of these are comb-bound in a keepsake cover with protective plastic, to ensure that the research results will endure and be treasured for generations to come. Larger projects are presented to the client in binders.

We'll share the results, which for most projects include:

In-depth research and analysis
A research report
List of sources searched
Paper and digital documents
Family charts
Deluxe binder
Private web page for sharing
Recommendations for future
