Tracing Family Tree

For many people, tracing family tree lines is more than just a hobby it's a profession. For the amateur genealogist, genealogy work involves filling in blank family trees with names, dates, and locations, gathering the information from easily accessible sources like the Internet and local Family History Centers. For professional genealogists, however, ancestor research involves a lot more. It's less about filling and tracing family trees and more about compiling an ancestor history, or several.

Professional Genealogical Research Services
Heirlines provides services for genealogists at all stages in the process of tracing family tree lines. Their Survey and Analysis service is meant to help people who are just barely getting started know where to go. Heirlines' genealogy researchers will search computer databases and the basic sources available at the Family History Library of Utah to determine what record sources and collections are available. They will give recommendations to the beginning genealogist about how and where to start. This kind of preliminary help can save a person a great deal of time because it can often be hard to determine just where to begin tracing family tree lines.

The Research and Analysis packages provide between 10 and 120 hours of research and analysis work. After completing the research, the Heirlines genealogists will carefully all of the information and compile it into an easy-to-read report. They also include copies of all the documents found and used in tracing family tree lines. These documents could include journals, probate records, marriage certificates, land deeds, immigration and naturalization records, and more.
