SERVICES

If you just need help with a brick wall, or a local look up at a Central New York location (ie. a local cemetery, court house, historical society, library, etc.), I would be happy to do that for you. Please send me a message with what you need.

Is your family tree already done and you just want to publish it? I would be happy to do that too. Do you have a tree on Ancestry and just want to publish it? Before you use Ancestry's service called MyCanvas.com be sure you read the online reviews (hint: they are horrible!). Although it may be easy to research your tree on Ancestry, trying to download and print it in book form can be a nightmare since you can only download a GEDCOM file that will have NO attachments like photos, census documents, etc.

I can help with designing the front and back covers and the spine. If you need help writing the text of the book, adding genealogy reports and charts, organizing photos and other formatting, I can help with that too. I can then have your family history book printed (in hard cover or paperback, color or black and white) in as many copies as you need. Unfortunately, I cannot give you an estimated price for this since there are way too many variables. But if this is what you need, please send me a message and we can discuss it further.

But the people that I can (and want) to help the most are those that have done little or no research and want to pass their knowledge and documents on to their heirs. I would be happy to come to your house and review any and all documents you have. They could be pictures, family bibles, obituaries, birth/marriage/death certificates, family letters, etc. I can then make copies while I am there so they will never have to leave your possession. I would be happy to listen to and document any stories or family lore that you want to pass on to others. Then, all of this information and those documents and pictures, along with my research, will be put into a physical book and as many copies as you need will be printed so that you can give them to any of your family members that you want to share this knowledge with.

If this sounds like what you want (either for yourself or as a gift to someone else), please send me a message and we can discuss how to move forward.
