I will do genealogy research for your family tree
About this Gig
**PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE ORDERING TO DISCUSS WHAT/WHO YOU ARE LOOKING FOR - THANK YOU!** Genealogy has become a popular hobby, and why not? Everybody wants to know where they came from and where they belong! But sometimes you just don't have the time or even know where to start.
I've been doing family history research for 20+ years. There are no guarantees in genealogy as to what, if any, info you will find, but the things I will look for are: birth, marriage, death records; immigration records; places of residence/origin; names of parents, siblings, spouses and/or children; occupation. I will send you my results - in some cases, specific information and in others, exactly where you can find that information, along with sources and document images. If I can't find anything, I'll send you a list of ideas of where or how you might consider proceeding. Please consider my premium gig for more time/people - I am a tenacious researcher once I get started and I am very good at finding people when given enough time! I specialize in, but am not limited to, the New York metro area, German ancestry & colonial America. I am not limited to English-language records. Hope to work with you!

FAQ
Do you do only online research?
At the moment, yes, but I will tell you about any real world repositories and records you should check out if I learn about them. Luckily, there are many reputable and reliable genealogy resources currently available online!
Will you send me whatever documentation you find?
Yes. Usually it will be in the form of a jpg photo, but if I find any actual document images online, I include them in the results I send you. If there is no actual image, but a written transcription, I will send that to you in the form of a Word document as well.
Will you send me a report along with documentation?
Yes. Depending on how in-depth the information is and how many people you ask me to look into, I will send you a report on your person or family, along with an explanation of any documents I found that are not self-explanatory.
Will you send me a "family tree" chart?
No. I deliver documentation and a report. If you have an online tree or want to start an online tree, I have options to help with that but if you're looking for a chart or graphic of your family tree I do not create or provide that.
VERY IMPORTANT!!! Should I contact you before purchasing a Gig?
Yes, yes, yes! Please message me before purchasing a Gig to be sure I can actually provide the research you are asking for. While I am very good at what I do, I am limited at times by language and unavailability of records. I do not offer refunds anymore except in RARE cases!
If you only work with online records, why do you charge so much?
The cost includes not only my 20+ years of expertise but taking the time-consumption & tediousness of this work off your table! In addition, Fiverr takes a 20% commission so I only see 80% of what I charge. I am always open to working with potential clients to find a compromise that fits your budget
What if none of your Gig options fit my budget?
If you are looking for more or less than my Gig options, please contact me ahead of time. I am always happy to try to figure out an option that will fit your budget, and we can always create a Custom Offer that works for both of us.
