Genealogical Research / Assistance:

How can Alex help you further your genealogical research or expand your family story? Alex has expertise researching in Germany, Netherlands, and Eastern Europe and will begin a project with the specific goals a client has or questions the client wants answered. From there, Alex will request copies of all previously acquired documentation and work with the client to develop a research plan. The client retains full control of the hours spent on the project and the direction of research. Please contact Alex for an initial consultation.

Testimonials:

“I had a very vague scope for where I wanted to take my research and Alex knocked it out of the park. His work is very thorough and he even delved into areas that I didn’t even think of. On top of that he organized all of the information in a way that is very easy to understand. Above and Beyond.” – Damon T.
