You have three options to choose from:

  • Our Hourly Option:  You can choose an hourly rate for smaller projects. The cost is determined by the number of hours needed for research.

  • Our Package Deals: This option affords us the opportunity to reach your research objectives. It's the most cost-effective way to conduct research for you.  We recommend making an additional 10% payment towards your package for purchasing vital and civil records, so we can extrapolate the information from these records, to reach your research objectives.

All of our Ancestor Experts™ research team members are fully vetted, before they may begin working with us. We only select the researchers who have achieved certification credentials via the Board of Certified Genealogists, International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogists, a 4 or 2-year degree in Family History from BYU,  certifications from other various certifying bodies etc..

We require any genealogist that wishes to work with us,  to submit a research report on an ancestor of our choosing. We supply them with one record about this ancestor and require them to locate additional records about this ancestor within a 10-hour research limit.  They are not paid to conduct this research. They'll submit a report to us, which we then review for accuracy, genealogical quality, and not exceeding the time limit.

All of our genealogists will be selected for your project, based on their expertise and your research objectives.

 

Since each research project is unique, it can take anywhere from 12-16 weeks to complete your research, based on the complexity and scope of your research objectives. Your Project Manager(PM) will keep you informed as to the progress of your research. They receive regular weekly updates from the genealogists assigned to your project and report back to you as to the status of your project    You'll be given access to our state of the art project management system, to check on the status of your research project, as it progresses towards it's completion.
