4 Reasons Why You Might Need a Genealogy Company
You have questions about your family tree and we can help.
Solve Brick Walls
Most people who have spent time working on their family tree have at least one line that seems to be at a complete dead end - known as a "brick wall" - they need help breaking it down. Our team of specialists have experience solving difficult genealogical problems. They have the knowledge and skills to get past them. Many of these brick walls require in-depth research in land, tax and/or probate records, and most of those records are still not available online.
Apply to Lineage Societies
Many people are interested in joining lineage societies such as the Sons or Daughters of the American Revolution (SAR/DAR), Mayflower Society, etc. Each of these societies has different requirements for membership, but they all have fairly strict policies on documentation. We can help you collect the documentation you need to submit a successful application to whichever lineage society you might be interested in.
Save Time
Genealogy is a lot fun once you figure out some of the basics. Quickly you’ll come to release that it’s also very time consuming and there are many sleepless nights ahead of you. We get this a lot from customers, they state how they cannot stop thinking about this one connection while lying in bed for hours and hours. Improvements in technology has allowed companies to place many records online (birth, death, marriage, adoption, etc.); however, not all records are online. This is one of the main reasons why sometimes a branch cannot get solved. A company like Record Click, who specializes in online and offline records, is required to conduct a search. Based on the many years of our team member's experience, you can imagine how much time can be saved in your research.
