Frequently asked questions:

  • How long does a family tree take to build?

    The duration of completing a family tree varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of your lineage, the availability of records, and the scope of research required. Generally, a family tree can take several weeks to several months to build, ensuring thorough research and accurate results.

  • Can you trace every ancestor in my family tree?

    While we strive to trace as many ancestors as possible, it's important to note that genealogy research has inherent limitations. Factors like missing records, limited documentation, or restricted access to certain archives can make it challenging to trace every individual in your lineage. We will make every effort to uncover as much information as possible, but some gaps or unknowns may exist.

  • What type of records do you use in research?

    Our research encompasses a wide range of records, including birth, marriage, and death certificates, census records, immigration documents, military records, newspaper archives, and more. We utilize both online databases and physical archives to gather information relevant to your family history.

How do you ensure the accuracy of the information?

We maintain a rigorous research methodology, cross-referencing multiple sources and validating information to ensure accuracy. However, it's important to note that historical records themselves can contain errors or discrepancies. We strive to provide the most accurate representation of your family history based on the available evidence.

What happens if you encounter a roadblock or missing information?

Genealogy research can present unexpected challenges, such as missing records or limited information. If we encounter roadblocks or gaps in the research process, we will communicate openly with you and explore alternative avenues to overcome these challenges. We will work together to find solutions and ensure the most comprehensive family history research possible.

Can I provide additional documents or information to aid research?

Absolutely! We encourage you to share any family stories, documents, photographs, or other relevant information that can provide insights into your family history. Your contributions can help us uncover hidden connections and enrich the narrative of your family tree.
