Compiled Family Histories
At the present time we limit our services to researching and compiling high quality family histories that are personalized to the individual needs of each client.

A compiled family history project involves taking the family history information and records that a client already possesses and supplementing these items with additional research to identify family members and to locate interesting family history records concerning them. We then organize and present the material in a detailed family history report that includes captioned images.

Although a number of variations are possible, a typical family history report usually begins with the client or the client's children as a starting point and then moves back in time identifying parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on. The report not only provides basic birth, marriage, death, and burial information about the family members, but it also includes information about other events in their lives and other records that were found concerning them.

Finished Product
Each finished family history project is presented in a multi-volume set of custom binders in matching slipcases.

Volume one contains:

an introduction that provides an overview of the material
a chart showing the ancestors or descendants of the subject of the research
a narrative family history report that identifies family members and provides information about them
an index to the report
a supplemental report listing suggestions for possible future family history research

Volume two and subsequent volumes contain:

captioned images of records, documents, photographs, and memorabilia
an index to the images

A digital copy of all material is also supplied to enable the client to easily make additional copies for family members and interested parties.
