number(s). ALSO: If your Tree can absolutely not be finished in time for the gift, I do have a Certificate I can email or postal
mail acknowledging that a Family Tree is in progress. This can be made for any occasion. Click here to see a Birthday
Sample:
* I’ve contacted other research services and genealogists and they charge between $100-$200+ per hour. Why do you have such low rates?
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. *If you want to see excerpts from my books I will be thrilled to send you some.
* I'm ready to start! What should I do?
Great! You can call (908) 414-1850 or email me with any questions or jump right to the Let's Get Started Page and follow
the 4 Easy Steps. You can send the papers and payment right in, or you can call me to tell me they're on their way.
(This allows me to adjust my schedule) It's NOT complicated. Just fill in what you know.
I still have questions – what now?
PLEASE – call me at (908) 414-1850 10am-8pm E.S.T, 7 Days, or email me at info@FamilyTreeSpecialist.com. I’d love to hear from you!
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 $37 per hour! (Excessive print-outs, copies, & postage are
extra)
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 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. (you can see in the picture below I am next to one of their gravestones) - "
Henry Voorhis" is all that is on his stone!
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!
