About Sandra & FTS

I'm Sandra Ashton, Professional Genealogist with more 

than 35 years of experience in tracing Family Trees.

 

 I've been doing Genealogy since 1979. 

 

When I started my genealogical pursuits, I did it the old fashioned way - writing to historical societies and

agencies for records. 

 

 Now of course, the internet has made researching easier

but it is still 

 

*very time consuming

and often confusing*

(not to mention Expensive!)

 

 if you are not an experienced genealogist.

quick turn-around time and I have the

*********************************

In the early years I traced my father's tree back several hundred years, to the mid 1600's when my 10th

great-grandfather left the Netherlands to make his new home in what is now Manhattan.

He owned the land that the Empire State Building now stands on.  

 

On my mother's side I learned that my 11th great grandfather left England in 1639 and

settled the New Haven Colony, holding many important government positions. 

 

On one branch I traced back to 1354 to my 18th Great Grandfather,

the last native Prince of Wales - Owain Glyndwr.  

   

After years of researching and collecting data I wrote two books - one on each parent's side. 

I would be happy to send you excerpts.

Don't Wait - CALL NOW!

While there are numerous ancestry search sites where you can try to search yourself, they are expensive and can be very confusing.

 

 Doing your own research can be very 

*time consuming &

frustrating. 

 

This is where we step in.

 

For a very reasonable rate I will gladly take on the task of finding your ancestors and putting the information in a format you can understand.

___________________________________

The two books I have written were not just names and dates. 

 

I was able to piece together history, giving my family a more accurate picture of our ancestors' roles in this world. 

 

It was through 

*thorough and diligent research* 

that I was able to do this - 

the same *thorough and diligent service*

 I will provide to you.

Referrals are always Proudly Provided.  

You can also read many of my success stories throughout this site.

Do you guarantee you will be able to find my ancestors?

 

**While I have had very many great successes, there is never a guarantee that your particular ancestors can be found.

 

Census takers sometimes missed people, courthouses were burned, and in some areas, records were just not kept.

 

I will do my best to find out what I can about your Family Tree. However, research into your Tree is based on hours worked and payment is due regardless.

 

You will find my rates extremely reasonable at just $49 per hour! (Excessive print-outs, copies, & postage are extra)

[[SEE SPECIAL ON HOME PAGE!]]

 

When a "Brick-wall" is hit, I recommend rather than stopping at it, to go around it! By following both paternal and maternal lines I have gotten back to ~1300's with some very colorful stories.

 

Please keep in mind:

Federal censuses are mostly reliable, depending on the knowledge of the informant and the care of the census enumerator.

 

Information may have been given to a census taker by *any member of the family or even by a neighbor.

 

Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified. Some people may have lied for various reasons: To get married, to avoid or join the military, to make a baby legitimate, immigration status, vanity, etc.

 

It's not uncommon to see a woman shave a decade off her age from her 1st Census until her last.

 

Census takers missed people, misheard people and were just not thorough. This can present some challenges.

 

Ancestors could also prove difficult - In one census they may have used their given name, and in the next one used a nickname or a different spelling.

 

Take into consideration one situation from my Family Tree that kept me in knots for many years.

 

I had 3 ancestors "JAMES VOORHIS" (Grandfather, Father & Son) but I could not find them in the census records or practically any records! This perplexed me terribly.

 

Well, after several years I discovered that each of them went ONLY by their MIDDLE names.

 

I knew from family records they were all named James, but in census and even burial, they went by their middle names.

 

Sometimes information comes pouring out,

sometimes it's a drizzle

and sometimes it's a drought.

 

I cannot guarantee you that I will be able to provide you with a perfect pedigree chart or with dozens of ancestors, but I CAN Guarantee you that I will put my whole heart into YOUR Family so YOU can have the same feeling I get when I discover something about my Heritage.

 

I want this to be successful as much as you do. 

 

Genealogy is my Joy!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

 

Many of Your Reviews say it is like having a Henry Louis Gates Jr Finding Your Roots experience - Why is that?

This is because I  put 110% effort into EVERY Client's Project so I can give them the Best Family History Experience possible.

I dig deep into every document and glean every fact possible.  The smallest detail makes such a difference in the way a client will get 'to know' their ancestors.

If your ancestor owned Real Estate in 1870 worth $2,400 and had a Personal Estate worth $600, what is that roughly equivalent to today? ~ and what did some of the basic, everyday items and food cost in 1870?

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU! 

You will get a sense of your ancestor's place in the world in which he lived. 

An example from my own Family Tree:

During my many years of research I found that my 6X Great Grandfather was in the Revolutionary War.  I swelled with pride.  But because I dig deeply, I learned later that he was court-martialed for Mutiny.  A different kind of feeling came over me then.

But good or bad, this is my family story and I'm glad I know the details.  It's factual, not fictional.

I'm going to give to you every detail I can find that will make your ancestors 'come to life.'  I am NOT going to give you charts with just names and dates!

I'm getting this Family Tree done as a gift and need  it soon.  Can you help?

 

I always try to accommodate my clients and will work to complete your Family Tree as soon as possible.

 

 Let me know in the beginning that it is needed quickly

and I will adjust my schedule accordingly to help you out. Always include your phone number(s). 

 

ALSO: If your Tree can absolutely not be finished in

time for the gift, I do have a *Gift Certificate* 

 I can email or postal mail acknowledging that a Family

Tree is in progress. 

 

This can be made for any occasion. Contact me to see a sample.

I'm ready to start - What should I do? 

Great! You can call (908) 414-1850 EST or email me  at   sandraashton66@gmail.com to begin this exciting journey.

 

I see that other genealogists charge $75-$200+ an hour.   Why are your rates So Low?

 

Genealogy is my passion. I’ve been doing this since

I was 12 years old. I have even written two books on

both my parents' lineages.

 

 It was the most fulfilling experience of my life.

 

I want to share that feeling with others by helping them discover their roots.

 

 I only charge enough to cover my time and expenses. There’s no huge profit here. I consider what I do a

service to others. It’s my calling in life. 

 

 

 

 

Don't wait another day!  Call Right Now to discuss your Family Tree Project.  I am happy to talk

to you.
