 How It Works

  • During your free 30 minute consultation by phone or Zoom, Lauryn will start by discussing your research goals. Are you just starting your family tree, or is there something more specific you want to achieve? Together you’ll decide on the scope of work and which package is best for your project. Research will begin upon receipt of payment and the Getting Started form has been filled in.

  • You’ll receive an ancestral report that includes detailed information about individual ancestors, copies of relevant documents and images, and suggestions for further research. The amount of detail on your report will depend on the scope of work and the information available.

    Lauryn will also build an Ancestry tree for you with collaborator access under your own Ancestry membership. All clients will receive a GEDCOM export of their tree. You can upload this file to many family research websites to continue building your tree.

  • This form is the starting point for your project, collecting the information that you currently know about your recent ancestors/specific ancestors to research. This includes information like:
    -places and dates of birth, baptism, marriage, death, and burial
    -immigration stories
    -education and employment information
    -anything else you think is relevant to your project

    It’s okay if you aren’t sure about exact places and dates - family lore and guesses are still extremely helpful to the research process. It’s best to provide as much information as you can, even if what you know is vague or broad.

    Have you already started your tree? You can share this to easily send over what you already know.

  • The time needed to complete each project will vary depending on the overall goals and scope of work. Grow Your Tree and Uncover a New Branches packages require a 3 hour minimum purchase.

    3-5 hour projects: $50/hr
    6+ hour projects: $40/hr

    Payments can be made by e-transfer or PayPal. Prices are listed in CAD.

  • Single document lookups are available for $15 CAD per document. Lauryn will confirm access to the required database before beginning the lookup. Any additional costs to purchase the document will be paid by the client. The document will be sent by email as a PDF or ZIP folder by email.

    Please note that many available record sets are not complete and some documents may be missing. Refunds will not be provided if the document is not available in the database.
