Brick Wall Inspection

Do you have a brick wall in your research? A puzzle that you just can’t seem to solve?  A set of fresh eyes, a new perspective, and/or off-line research may be just what you need to bring that brick wall crashing down! Let me see if I can find some weak spots on your wall.

This package includes time to review the research you’ve already done, put together an action plan of what to do next, and up to 3 hours of research time.

What you’ll receive: a written report detailing what I found, what I looked for and didn’t find, and copies of new records. If I run out of time before I run out of research, you’ll also get a list of future research opportunities – and a discount code good for up to 6 additional hours of research time.

In all cases, genealogical research and record lookups can be time-consuming and sometimes end up empty-handed; for instance, not everyone had obituaries, marriages, or births published in newspapers. Depending on the time and place of your research focus, many sources may need to be reviewed in order to reach an answer – and occasionally, the records might not exist due to destruction.

I am unable to guarantee the record you want exists, or that we can answer your research question in the time allotted. For this reason, fees for used time are not refundable.
