I will transcribe vital records and extract structured genealogy data
Software Engineer and Genealogist
Hello! My name is Itamar, and I'm a second-year software engineering student. I mainly specialise in Java and Python, and I've also been doing Genealogy as a hobby since 2018
About this Gig
Do you have handwritten birth, marriage, or death certificates that you need decoded and organised?
Parsing old vital records, faded cursive, and historical documents requires immense time. I provide a premium, human-verified extraction service that transforms your document scans into perfectly indexed digital data compatible with modern family tree software.
What I Do:
Full text transcription of handwritten vital records.
Accurate data extraction (names, dates, family relationships, occupations, and locations).
Multilingual translation of historical documents into clean English.
Clean digital formatting: Delivering a PDF research report (Basic/Standard), a unified Family Book PDF (Premium), and a standard GEDCOM file ready to import directly into Ancestry or FamilySearch (Standard/Premium).
Why This Service?
I do not deliver raw machine outputs that misread historical names or dates. Every record undergoes a multi-pass transcription process backed by thorough human verification. You are paying for a meticulous audit to ensure absolute accuracy for your family history.
Please message me with a sample scan before ordering to confirm readability and custom bulk rates!
FAQ
What if my documents are severely faded, damaged, or have incredibly difficult handwriting? Can you still transcribe them?
Yes. I specialize in decoding difficult historical cursive. My process handles challenging text well. However, if a record is torn or the ink has completely bled through, please message me a sample scan first so I can evaluate the legibility before you order.
What languages do you support? Do you transcribe and translate non-English vital records?
I support most historical European languages, Latin parish registers, and old German scripts. Non-English records are fully transcribed in their original language and completely translated into clean, structured English profiles at no extra cost to you.
What is a GEDCOM file, and will it work with my existing family tree software like Ancestry or FamilySearch?
A GEDCOM (.ged) file is the universal format for genealogy data. The file I deliver contains all extracted names, dates, and family connections mapped out. You can instantly import it into Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, or RootsMagic.
What file formats should I upload, and how do you handle the privacy of my family documents?
Please upload clear JPG, PNG, or PDF scans. Your family records are kept strictly confidential. They are used exclusively to complete your order and are fully deleted from my working systems once the project is finalized and closed.
I have a massive archive with hundreds of records. Do you offer custom pricing packages for larger projects?
Absolutely. If your archive exceeds the 150-record limit of the Premium tier, please send me a message with details about your collection size. I will review a sample and send a custom quote with tailored bulk pricing and deadlines.
