Are you a beginning family historian or have you been "digging for your roots" for years? In either case, you may want to look to a professional genealogist for assistance. The consultants at Heritage Consulting and Services can bring more than 100 years of family history experience to bear on your particular research challenge. From complete, bound research projects destined to become a family heirloom to specific record searches, we can help you in your discovery process. Our professionals are able to deal with foreign languages, difficult-to-read script, and hard-to-find records that may have been stumbling blocks to your efforts. We understand the histories, migrations, governments and record sources available throughout the world.

Our goal is to help you in your research challenges by providing information, helping you understand the information that has been found and showing you the methodologies of genealogy.

Professional research is provided through two methods: Record Searches - A single search comprised of a specific name, record source and time period.
Research projects - Full-scale endeavors which encompass numerous names or a full line.
Both formats are available for most geographical regions around the world.

The professional research staff at Heritage Consulting and Services prides themselves in their ability to share the research methods and techniques that they have learned over the years with other interested family historians. By working one-on-one with a seasoned professional, the beginning or experienced researcher can realize significantly higher levels of success with virtually any research challenge. Fresh perspectives often help identify clues that have been passed over, or provide an unbiased opinion about the validity of research already assembled. Whether you are new to the tremendous resources of The Family History Library or just haven't visited in a few days, a professional who works within the walls of the 'Mecca of Family History Research' every day can help you optimize the research time available to you.
