First, I spend some time with you to find out what your needs are. An interview should help me obtain the information I'll need to get started.
Your Ancestors Store will look through a variety of online repositories including ancestry.com, familysearch.org, USGENWEB, and a multitude of US and foreign, state and local based online systems.
When needed, I can also locate physical repositories such as government offices (for instance, county clerk), libraries, and microfilms of the Church of Latter Day Saints.
Often I can find your ancestors on a US, Canadian, or England census. There are Civil War, World War, and other military records Depending on the state, I may be able to quickly find birth, marriage, and death records which can lead to the names of parents, including the ellusive maiden name of the mother.
I save images of these (and other) records and assemble a living family tree (easily update-able) for you on CD. Each person in the tree will have notes on what records I found for them. You will receive a PDF file that contains all of your direct ancestors I can also do your spouse's family, which makes a meaningful and cherished gift!
You will receive: A CD which contains all images of records that I find, a PDF file listing your direct ancestors and detailed notes, an image of your family tree with recent ancestors, and a GEDCOM file that you can use to import all data into your own genealogy program.
