Begin Your Research Inquiry

Every research question is different. Tell me what you are trying to find out, what records you already have, and what matters most to you. I'll respond within five business days with a written preliminary assessment of what the records may hold.

Response Time

Five business days, with a written preliminary assessment of your question

No Commitment Required

The preliminary assessment costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Fees are set only in a written proposal

How the Process Works

01

You Submit This Form

Tell me your specific question, what heritage is involved, and what records you already have in hand.

02

I Assess & Respond

Within five business days I'll send a written preliminary assessment — including honest scope, likely approach, and whether this is a project I'm positioned to take on.

03

We Agree on Scope

If there's a fit, I'll send a written research proposal with defined deliverables and fees. At that stage I'll ask you to share copies of the specific records that bear on your question. No surprises.

By submitting this inquiry, you agree to our Privacy Policy. We will only use your information to respond to your genealogy questions.
