About the work
A closer look.
Send one story your family tells about a named person, a place, and a time. A ship that came in. A name on a war memorial. A marriage everyone swears happened. The grandfather who "came over" on something. I go looking for what the paper trail actually says: a birth, marriage or death index, a newspaper line, a memorial roll, a passenger list, a census entry, an archive catalogue. You get a short written report: what holds up, what the record contradicts, the exact sources with dates and links you can open yourself, and a plain note wherever the trail goes quiet. I work from open, citable sources, not private genealogy databases, and I say so plainly when something cannot be found instead of dressing up a guess. 48-hour turnaround, one included revision.

Send one claim: a name, a date, a quoted line, a caption, whatever you are about to publish. I check it against primary and citable sources and send back a short report: what holds, what does not, and the sources you can open yourself. Turnaround 48 hours. One price covers one claim, or one cluster of facts about a single person or event. If it cannot be sourced, the report says so plainly instead of guessing. Want to see the work first?
