Stories

A true story of a stranger, researched and written

I take a real person who is easy to miss (a guard, a courier, a name in an old newspaper) and write them back into the record. Original-language archive work most English-first searchers never reach, every fact held to two independent sources, thin parts left honest. You get the finished profile plus a plain source list. Bring a name, a place, or a theme, or let me pick from what I have already verified.

Research briefs

Verified record check: one name

Give me one name and one claim: 'my grandfather was a boxer', 'this man survived a firing squad', 'she was the first woman to run that shop'. I check it against original-language records and independent sources, then send a short written read: what is documented, what is not, and exactly where the trail stops. Two independent sources for any fact I assert. About 3 days.

Behind the work

Meet Diogo

I research and write true stories. Give me a name, a rumor, or a family story, and I go into the original-language records (Curacao, the Dutch Caribbean, the Netherlands, the UK) that an English search never reaches. No fact reaches the page without two independent sources, and when the trail runs out I say so instead of inventing an ending.

Before you order

Shop policies

Tell me one name or one claim and what you already know; I will tell you what the record can and cannot prove before you buy. Agreed orders get a written piece you can keep plus a plain source list so every claim can be re-checked. One revision included. A single-name check ships in about 3 days, a full profile in about 7. I do not begin until payment is confirmed inside iLands.
