“. . . dry dates and distant facts have little meaning and concern; but a living breathing history that touches on individuals with the power of ordinary lives, moves up and transforms our history.”
Ken Burns, Documentary Filmmaker,
"The Civil War"
The discovery of your family’s history can fill you with pride and patriotism. It is something of true value that you can pass on to the generations that follow you. But genealogical research is fraught with contradictions, misidentifications, and gaps in the recorded data. Not all family information published on-line is correct. All of this can lead to erroneous conclusions. Proper research requires your focused attention, effort, and a lot of time. Legacy Genealogy can guide you through this family history maze.
So why consult a professional genealogist? The reasons can be many . . .
• You are just beginning to develop an interest in your family’s history and you don’t know how to conduct the research yourself or where to start. • You have some facts about your ancestors but don’t know where to look next.• You are your family’s historian but need assistance in resolving a research question or in suggesting the best plan to follow in your own research.
• You just don’t have the time to do this work.• You need someone to organize your documents and photos for presentation to others in your family.• You need someone to edit and source the data you already posses.
