"Looking for ancestors in the American South or Midwest?
There are few endeavors more personally satisfying than connecting with your ancestors. It can also be a frustrating process, particularly if you’re looking for someone in a location with which you’re unfamiliar. If you’re trying to make connections in the Southeast or Midwest, I can help. I am especially well-versed in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Over the past 25 years, I have researched an extensive list of families in state archives, libraries and county-based record repositories. I have easy access to these resources and know how to use them to advance and resolve your family research project.
I will provide you with a comprehensive electronic or hard copy report. My hourly rate is $15; copying costs are additional (I do not charge for copying for research projects in Kentucky.)
I look forward to working with you on your family research projects. Thanks.

General Research in US
I am an RN with lots of experience with time management and organizational skills, both which are needed when also doing genealogy. I am not a professional researcher, but have 15 years of general research experience with my own family history. I am willing to search records of all states using online records. I am only able to search local records in AR, TN, and MS. I live in Eastern Arkansas, about halfway between Little Rock, AR and Memphis, TN. I am willing to take photographs of anything that is considered significant to you within 150 miles of Little Rock or Memphis. These trips would be an extra expense and will be priced on an individual basis. My fees will be $10 per hour with a two hour minimum. Any cost of copying and postage will also be extra options.
I look forward to working with you and helping you research your family. Email Betsy Barnes at BeBar30@yahoo.com to start searching.
SEDONA ARIZONA
I have a PhD in geophysics and am an explorer of the Pacific Ocean with the discovery of three active submarine volcanoes to my credit. What does that have to do with genealogy? Well, it helps a lot. And the satisfaction of discovery is much the same. Over the past 16 years, I have explored my own family tree in Northern England to 1587; in Denmark to 1642; in western Pennsylvania, with ancestors in New Jersey, to 1768; and in New England to about 1630, with ancestors in Old England, into the 1500s. I read documents written back to those early dates in both English and Danish.
I have freely helped many others find their ancestors in these same places and times. I live only nine hours south of Salt Lake City and visit the LDS family-history library there frequently. I also have microfilms brought to the nearby Cottonwood, Arizona, LDS family-history center for reading. Much, of course, can be found by skillful use of the internet, sifting good information from the bad. I recognize the need to consult primary sources.
I will charge $10 per hour for work which can efficiently be done locally and $20 per hour for work best done in Salt Lake City (plus expenses for copying, film rental, etc.).

INDIANA Fort Wayne Area
My experience includes over 40 years of personal research on my family in New England and New York
State and of my husband's from the Midwest that includes German, French Canadian, French and
Polish immigrants. I have been certified with the Board for Certification of Genealogists, Washington,
DC since August of 1978 and have been a working professional researcher since that date. My client
work has been in the areas of North and South East as well as the Midwest, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Illinois and Iowa. The majority of my research has been at the Historical Genealogical Department
of the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana whose collection is considered second
only to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah and is the largest historical genealogical
collection in a public library. Its Midwest collection and historical genealogical magazine collection
are both considered superior to that of the Family History Library.
I charge $20 per hour and require a retainer. A retainer of $100 is suggested, but any convenient
amount is acceptable. Upon receipt of my retainer my turn around time is approx. 2-3 weeks. As well
as the Allen County Public Library, I will make research trips to other libraries, courthouses,
cemeteries, etc., up to 200 miles from the Ft. Wayne, Indiana area, but if necessary there will
be an additional charge for mileage/room. Feel free to check my
website for further details on my credentials and sources available to me.

I can assist you in researching your Kentucky ancestors. I live in Berea,
(Madison County) Kentucky, which is located about 30 miles south of Lexington. I mainly work in two college
libraries in the area, those being Berea College and Eastern Kentucky University. Both have excellent special
collection and archive rooms. Berea College is wonderful for tracing Appalachian roots. The EKU genealogy room
is probably one of the best kept secrets in family research. The Kentucky and Virginia collections are quite
extensive. There is also a wealth of information concerning the states of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Maryland, New York, Tennessee, North Carolina, Missouri and Indiana. I will do all lookups...tax, land, birth,
marriage, and death records; tax lists, census reports, wills, cemetery and funeral home records...whatever your
request, I will find it!
My home library is considerable, having been blessed with this gift by my grand-aunt, a working genealogist for
fifty years. I have numerous books dealing with the subject of eastern Kentucky, as well as books relating to Kentucky
tax records, land grants, census, tax lists, wills and land records. In reference to the state of Virginia, I own
several books, to include those on Revolutionary War soldiers, marriages, and other records. My library also includes
books on royal ancestry; the Magna Charta Sureties; and Charlemagne's descendants.
I will discuss photographing tombstones and buildings, as well as traveling to towns in Kentucky for
library and courthouse research.
My fee is $10 per hour; it will be slightly higher if travel outside
Madison County is necessary.

Let me help you fill in the bare branches on your family tree, or perhaps
find a way through that genealogical "brick wall" you're too far away to research. I
can help find the documents necessary for application to lineage societies such as
the Mayflower Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, etc., and get them
certified, find your ancestor's graves and photograph them, find out what ship they
arrived on, or even look for the house they lived in 200 years ago.
As well as pursuing primary source research in historic town halls
and courthouses, I regularly visit genealogical libraries and archives throughout
New England, each of which has manuscripts and documents not to be found elsewhere.
Every family's story is fascinating and a link to history.
Basic research rates $40 per hour.

With over 20 years experience, it is my good fortune to spend my
time providing professional family research services in connection
with New Jersey records, including, but not limited to, vitals, church,
cemetery, land, probate, court, etc. In addition, my services extend
to house history research and problem solving.
Local relatives or old neighbors are another means of enlarging your
scope of family information. With your permission, a meeting with an aunt,
grandfather, or elderly friend of the family can be arranged, an interview
conducted, and a report forwarded to you.
And, if you would like to broaden your knowledge by studying the
historical events surrounding your ancestors, reading material can be
suggested.

I offer full-service genealogical research in the Primary Source
Records repositories within New York City. If you have a need for
genealogical research in this City, I'm here to help you. I do Vital
Records, Census, and City Directory searches, Will and Probate searches
in all the Surrogate's Courthouses in the City, Obituary searches.
I also do Cemetery research, gravesite locating and photography as well.
I do Naturalization searches, property ownership record searches, and
searches for cases of legal litigation that your ancestors might have
been involved in.
No job is too small--I have no minimum contract requirements. It is my
opinion that one needn't be wealthy to be able to afford some on-site
genealogical help in New York City.
I'm a member of the New York Genealogical & Biographical Society, and I
have full access to the resources of their wonderful Library....I can
make these work for you, too.
My rates are reasonable, and my methods are tenacious! If there's something you need searched out, and if you cannot do it yourself at the LDS Family History Centers closest to you, send me a message--- I can access documents that simply aren't available anywhere else in genealogical libraries.

area so I can attest to his effectiveness at finding elusive

I have been doing genealogical

I have done much volunteer research for the Somerset County Historical

months.
I enjoy the research as a hobby but I treat the names I
research as my own with many satisfied clients who can attest. I do a
little in many counties but I limit my search to Cambria and Somerset
which I know the best. I try to back everything up with documents to
serve as proof. I try to do my best at something that I really enjoy.

I also offer photography of tombstones, ancestral homes, churches and places of employment. I regularly search all relevant church and civil records both in the U.S.A. and in the immigrants' country of origin, and travel frequently to RI and MA State Archives, NARA in Waltham, MA and Pittsfield, MA, RI City and Town Halls, Historical Society Libraries, and LDS Family History Centers.
