Every engagement is bespoke. Pricing depends on the scope, complexity, and depth of research required. We discuss pricing during the complimentary discovery call once we understand what you need.
A focused single-line study can take four to eight weeks. A multi-generational family book may take six months to two years. A brick-wall consultation is time-boxed — typically two to four weeks. Timelines are part of every proposal.
Yes. DNA-only engagements are common for unknown parentage, adoption, and NPE cases. We combine your match list with targeted documentary research to identify biological connections.
No professional genealogist should guarantee results. We guarantee effort, expertise, and honesty. If a line cannot be traced, we tell you so clearly and explain why — and we never invent what cannot be proven.
We maintain a vetted global partner network. If your research leads to a region outside our direct expertise, we connect you with a specialist we trust — never a cold referral. See our Regions page.
Yes, and we often start there. We audit what you have, verify sources, correct errors, and extend from your existing foundation.
Always. We do not publish, share, or sell client research. Discoveries are yours to share or keep private. Signed confidentiality agreements are available on request.
Yes. We assemble complete documentary packages for citizenship-by-descent applications to Mexico, Spain, and Portugal (Sephardic pathway). Since 2019, we have guided more than 1,400 individuals through the Sephardic citizenship process. Portugal's pathway remains open but was significantly tightened in 2022 and 2024 — early consultation is strongly recommended. Spain's Sephardic window (Ley 12/2015) closed in October 2019, but we continue to support general Spanish citizenship by descent through other routes. Apostille coordination included in all cases.
Yes. We regularly speak at genealogical societies, family reunions, cultural organizations, and academic institutions. Contact us for availability.
Every engagement begins with a complimentary 30-minute conversation. We listen, assess, and tell you honestly what we can and cannot find. No obligation. No pressure.
