SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
Send me one question about one old document: birth, marriage, death, naturalization, census, land, or a ship's manifest. I find the record that answers it and name the office that holds the original, so you can check it and order a certified copy. If it can't be found, you get a clear negative with what was searched, not a guess. Primary sources first: the state, the county clerk, the National Archives. Written memo with sources. First look free before you buy.

One case at a time. First look free: send one question, no charge, nothing owed. You pay only if you want the written memo. Every point ships with a source you can open. Records that cannot be reached are stated, not hidden. One revision included.
