Offer [Offer] I will research your family history
Hey everyone!
I have been working as an amateur genealogist for 9+ years, both as a paid researcher doing freelance work as well as volunteer research at local archives and libraries. Throughout my experience I have worked on family histories from a multitude of backgrounds, from recent immigration, to Central American colonial families and enslaved peoples.
I pride myself on evidence based, primary document sourced research. This means all information I collect and present is directly backed by original documentation or first hand accounts, with any other information clearly specified and communicated. All documentation is sourced from both public and privately available resources: sourced from archives, libraries, historical societies and online databases as well as my personal collection of copied record anthologies.
When you hire me, you will be receiving attention-to-detail and informed research that suites your needs and requests. I always work with my clients with a free consultation first to see what they want to learn and what they already know.
I speak Spanish and English fluently, both for communications purposes as well as being able to read colonial-era handwritten documents. (I am currently working on improving my German and French).
Rates start at $40 for 2 hours of SUCCESSFUL research. This means that if I spend an hour and nothing of value is found, you do not pay for it! Further research is charged at $23/hour, compare this with professional genealogists offering private research starting between $35-$50/hour minimum.
If you'd like a free consultation please let me know!
