Families building a more complete ancestral record

A research intake questionnaire is required after checkout to confirm known information, goals, and research priorities.

Starting with a $1,500 research deposit

Legacy Lineage Projects are custom, in-depth genealogy engagements designed for complex family histories, multiple ancestral lines, or long-term research goals.

These projects move beyond foundational family trees and focus on evidence-based analysis, documentation, and historical context, often requiring research across varied locations, time periods, and record types.

A $1,500 research deposit is required to begin a Legacy Lineage Project. This deposit covers intake review, project planning, and the first defined research phase.

Legacy Lineage Projects do not have a predetermined total cost. Final pricing is based on project scope, the number of family lines involved, record availability, and research complexity.

Projects are completed in defined research phases. At the conclusion of each phase, findings are reviewed and recommendations are provided. Any additional research phases are proposed with scope, estimated timelines, and pricing for approval before work continues.
Balances are invoiced and approved prior to delivery of completed research materials for each phase.

This phased billing structure ensures clients maintain full visibility and control while allowing research to proceed thoughtfully and responsibly.

Research Timeline

Legacy Lineage Projects are conducted in research phases rather than a fixed number of hours.

Each phase may includes:

• Extended research across multiple family lines

• Deeper exploration of historical records and timelines

• Integration of photos and supporting documents (when available)

• Narrative summary connecting people, places, and events

• Organized digital delivery suitable for long-term preservation

This phased approach ensures research remains accurate, intentional, and aligned with long-term preservation goals.

What to Expect

• Projects are tailored to the specific history and challenges of each family

• Research findings may uncover new questions, alternate lines, or conflicting evidence

• Recommendations are provided before additional research phases begin

Genealogical research is evidence-based and dependent on record availability. Research effort does not guarantee specific outcomes.

Best for:

• Families preserving history for future generations

• Clients seeking context and storytelling, not just data

• Multi-line or complex family histories

A detailed research intake questionnaire is required after checkout to define scope, known information, and research priorities.
