Trace Your Tree | Holton Heritage Service

Tracing Your Family Tree

Wonder what countries or regions your ancestors came from, where family members went, how they got there?

Are there names in your family that have been passed down through the generations and you wonder where it started, or the origin of the name?

How far back can your family tree be traced?

Want to uncover the truths behind a family story? Solve a family mystery?

Looking for ‘long-lost’ family members?

Would you like to know the occupations of your ancestors?

Is there a building, street or town named after someone in your family history?

We can help you find answers to these and other questions by researching genealogical sources, including census records, vital statistics records, land records, church records, and more! We specialize in records from the United States, England, Ireland, Italy and ethnic Jewish ancestry. We are always willing to pursue records from other locations as well.

We can:

Undertake research based on your goals
Use archival, primary, secondary, and database records
Conduct research
Compile records
Create a written summary of findings that outlines what information was found
Make suggestions for further research

When we undertake a project for you, a researcher will consult with you about what you already know about your family history, and what you would like to find out. We search records to find evidence to support and confirm information you have, and start to build upon the research from there.

At the conclusion of research we provide
a summary outlining findings.

If you just don’t have the time to commit to searching through millions of records, let us do it for you!
Professional, courteous service, and prompt responses to any questions or concerns.
The first three hours of research are $150.00 (covered by the initial fee). The subsequent hourly rate is $50. The number of hours required to complete a project depends on what the client wants to know about their family, and how accessible the resources are. For instance, research on one ancestor will take less time than research on an entire branch of the family, or an entire tree.
Sometimes proper sources for your family tree documentation may necessitate ordering documents or microfilm records at additional cost. If so, we will contact you for authorization. If you do not want us to obtain the record, we will not.
