Hi, I'm Jen and I like to keep it very simple and transparent. If you're here, you're interested in family history, which happens to be my full-time job and full-time passion. I love being a small business owner and am ecstatic to be doing my dream job every day.
My client cases fall into either building broad family trees or helping with specific subjects, like a roadblock in your own family tree building, immigrant origins (I understand lots of languages) or proving/disproving a family story.
All of my projects are on an hourly basis at $200 per hour with only a 2 hour minimum. Every single project starts with just 2 hours of time after which I report back to you with my thoughts and recommendations for next steps. I work quickly and efficiently in any quantity of research hour segments. The reason I keep it hourly is because each family is so very different with the records they left behind, so you just don't know what you're going to get until you start working.
It's also important to note that I have a significant waitlist, which speaks to the quality and reputation of my work. My waitlist is around 2-3 years (210 people) and I do not charge a down payment for you to hold your spot in line. Keep that in mind for any deadlines you may have. I do have a $500 rush fee to be worked in within 1-2 months.
I post daily genealogy tip videos across many platforms, which you can find at the links below. I like to share my knowledge so that everyone can better research their own family's history.
