Purchasing Genealogy Services

There are two main reasons why someone may want to purchase genealogy services.

  1. Research specific individuals in a family tree for personal or professional reasons
  2. Get help with a Brick wall as a seasoned genealogist

We are always more than happy to answer any of your questions or concerns at no charge. Please send us a message with your question or a request for a phone conversation.

Root Pursuit offers a number of Genealogy Research Services as shown below:

Service – Family Group

Helping you discover more about who you are! Genealogy Research conducted by Kelly Lee, Genealogist.

This service includes genealogy research for one family unit. This information includes the husband and wife, plus their children. The information will be formatted using Root Pursuit’s Extended Family Group Sheet (Word Document). The format consists of a traditional family group format, followed by additional family tree collected information, followed by citations.

Organizing your family tree data by family group allows for a complete genealogy through the use of horizontal research. The Family Group Sheet fits nicely into your genealogy paper copy, or as digital storage.

What you get!

  1. Documents given in MS Word and PDF format.
  2. Completion of your family group (mother, father, their parents, and all their children) in Root Pursuit’s Extended Family Group Sheet format.
  3. Census/Resident Form – this lists all the places that your ancestor lived
  4. A Research Log – this will tell you exactly what Kelly researched and the results.
  5. Attached Original Documents

What to expect…

Once you have purchased, you will get an email notification with some instructions. We will ask you to schedule a time for the research or let us know if this is a gift. This email will list the basic information that we will need from you to get started. The name of one ancestor (first and last), their approximate birth date and approximate birthplace. The ancestor should have been born prior to 1940 and we want you to know that we respect all laws in regards to privacy in our research, especially for the living.

Why we love this method!

This pay as you go method is perfect for genealogy. You only purchase one chunk of research at a time and can stop at any time. Above we indicated that we will research the parents of the father and mother listed on the Family Group Sheet.

As we find out those parents, you are able to purchase another family group sheet service. If for some reason the parental information can’t be found for the mother or father, then we know that it doesn’t make sense for you to purchase additional services for those people at this time.

This rarely happens in early generations, but as we get back into the 1700s and 1600s, those dead ends become more frequent. Genealogy is full of dead ends, so while some genealogy lines go back 20 generations, some lines can be difficult when an individual was adopted, an orphan, or just left their previous life and changed their name. With the service provided above, you aren’t paying for future lines that can’t be found.
