There is something deeply rewarding about working through your family history—following the clues, uncovering stories, and connecting generations. But as many of us know, not every step in the journey is easy. Sometimes you need just a little help to get unstuck, locate a missing record, or make sense of DNA matches that don’t quite fit.
Over the years, I’ve spoken with many researchers who don’t necessarily need a full research package—they simply need targeted help, quickly and affordably.
With that in mind, I am excited to introduce several new research options designed to meet you exactly where you are in your genealogy journey.
These services are focused, flexible, and created to help you make real progress, without committing to a large project.
Find a Record — $25
Sometimes all you need is that one missing piece.
Whether you are searching for a birth record, death certificate, marriage record, or another specific document, this option is designed to help you locate a single record quickly and efficiently.
You provide the details, and I will conduct a focused search using reliable genealogical resources. If the record is available, I will locate it and provide you with the information and source details.
This is a great option if:
- You know what you’re looking for but can’t seem to find it
- You’ve hit a paywall or aren’t sure where to search next
- You want a second set of eyes on a specific record search
Brick Wall Brainstorm (60-Minute Zoom Session) — $60
Every genealogist encounters a “brick wall” at some point—that ancestor who seems to appear out of nowhere or disappear without a trace.
This one-on-one Zoom session is designed to help you break through those challenging research problems.
During our session, we will:
- Review what you already know
- Identify gaps and overlooked clues
- Explore new strategies and record sets
- Develop a clear, actionable plan for moving forward
This is not just a discussion—it’s a working session focused on giving you direction and renewed momentum.
Perfect for:
- Stalled research lines
- Confusing or conflicting evidence
- Knowing what to do next
DNA Match Quick Review — $40
DNA results can be incredibly powerful—but also overwhelming.
If you have ever looked at your match list and wondered, “What am I supposed to do with all of this?”—you are not alone.
With this service, I will take a focused look at your DNA matches and help you begin making sense of them.
You will receive:
- A review of selected matches
- Insight into possible relationships or patterns
- Suggestions for next steps and how to move forward
This is ideal if you:
- Are new to DNA testing
- Feel stuck interpreting your matches
- Want guidance without committing to a full DNA project
A More Flexible Way to Get Help
Genealogy is not one-size-fits-all, and research needs can vary greatly from person to person. These new options are designed to give you accessible, targeted support, whether you need a single record, a fresh perspective, or help navigating DNA.
If you’re ready to move forward in your research, I would be honored to help.
Feel free to reach out to get started or to ask which option might be the best fit for your needs.
