GENEALOGY RESEARCH, REIMAGINED
We investigate historical records about one person, couple, or closely related line. You receive a written report by email with findings, citations, review by our research team, and next steps. No DNA test required.
AI-assisted. Human-reviewed. Source-cited.
Payment: Automatic category check → $200 checkout → detailed intake and human feasibility review. Special categories go to review without payment.
Delivery: Expect your standard research report by email in 3–5 days after payment and completed intake. If we need more information or identify a scope issue, we’ll contact you to explain the next step and any change to timing.
If the standard project cannot reasonably cover your question, we offer a full refund or an optional custom proposal before substantive research begins.
ONE QUESTION. EVIDENCE YOU CAN FOLLOW.
Relevant findings, source citations, and record links where available.
Conflicting evidence and uncertain connections explained clearly.
Practical next steps, even when the question remains unresolved.
3–5 days after payment and completed intake.
BUILT TO FOLLOW THE CONNECTIONS
Neither should the investigation. We bring technology, historical resources, and human expertise together to follow your question across places and generations.
Our custom AI supports search planning, document analysis, translation, and comparison—helping us work through spelling changes, scattered records, and competing clues.
We draw on leading genealogy resources, databases, and historical collections to investigate the records relevant to your family’s place and period.
We follow migration, changing names, and multilingual records to connect the evidence across borders. Our real Aragón study spans El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Germany.
Research draws on accessible records relevant to your question; coverage varies by place and period.
A FAMILIAR QUESTION. A DIFFERENT APPROACH.
Careful genealogy takes work. Researchers have traditionally billed by the hour to search, compare, organize, and analyze large amounts of information.
AI-assisted tools help us organize, correlate, translate, and analyze evidence faster. Combined with a focused scope and human judgment, that makes a predictable flat price possible.
YOUR RESEARCH PACKAGE
One focused investigation and one written report delivered by email. The report brings together the items below; these are not separate projects.
A written report delivered by email: your question, what we investigated, what we found, and the conclusion the evidence supports.
Citations identifying the records behind important claims, so you can follow the evidence yourself.
Conflicting names, ages, places, and relationships addressed openly.
Relationships relevant to your question, where supported. This is not a complete family tree or a promised number of generations.
Key events placed in chronological context when useful.
Links or references to source material where available and permitted.
Established facts separated from likely conclusions and possibilities.
What remains unresolved, unsuccessful searches where useful, and the next records or questions worth pursuing.
FROM A QUESTION TO A CLEARER PICTURE
Tell us your question and select any special research categories. This is an automatic scope screen, not a researcher’s assessment of whether records exist. Special categories go to custom review without payment.
If you select no special category, review the standard scope and continue to Stripe Checkout. You choose whether to pay; completing the question form alone does not charge you.
Complete the detailed intake and share existing records. We assess feasibility before substantive research. If the standard scope cannot reasonably cover your project, we offer a full refund or a separately approved custom proposal.
Receive the findings, citations, unresolved questions, and next steps. Expect your standard research report by email in 3–5 days after payment and completed intake. If we need more information or identify a scope issue, we’ll contact you to explain the next step and any change to timing.
ONE QUESTION. ONE CLEAR PRICE.
Focused research, carefully considered evidence, and a report that makes sense of it all.
You know the research price before we begin.
Genealogy research cannot guarantee that surviving records contain an answer. Customers are purchasing a research investigation, not a guaranteed discovery.
One defined project. No subscription. Human feasibility review follows payment and intake.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THE SAME STANDARD
| What to expect | Traditional hourly research | Lineage Research |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Hourly | $200 flat for a standard project |
| Research process | Primarily manual | AI-accelerated + human-reviewed |
| Cost predictability | Depends on research time | Known before research begins |
| Evidence | Historical records and sources | Historical records and sources |
| Goal | Strongest conclusion supported by evidence | Strongest conclusion supported by evidence |
Researchers use a variety of methods and fee structures. This compares our standard offer with a traditional hourly model, not the quality of individual researchers.
TECHNOLOGY WITH ACCOUNTABILITY
Variant spellings. Document analysis. Translation. Search planning. Timeline reconstruction. Entity matching. Information organization. Contradiction detection. Hypothesis generation.
Technology helps us work through information faster. Sources give that information meaning.
Our research review team checks every report and its important findings against the underlying evidence.
The goal isn’t to generate an answer. It’s to establish what the evidence actually supports.
PEOPLE BEHIND YOUR REPORT
Our research review team brings human judgment to every report.
Good research requires more than a plausible answer. Our reviewers examine how the sources support each important conclusion, whether conflicting details have been addressed, and where the evidence remains incomplete.
You receive a report that separates established facts, likely connections, and open questions—so you know what to rely on and what to investigate next.

EXAMPLES YOU CAN ASSESS FOR YOURSELF
Look inside a real family investigation, then see how a focused report is organized.
Inspect the sources, competing identities, and unresolved links in a real family investigation. It spans several projects and branches. It demonstrates our approach to evidence, not the amount of research included in one $200 order or a typical customer result.
Read the real case study →The Samuel Bennett example shows how a focused written report presents a question, sources, analysis, confidence, and next steps. Its people and findings are fictional. It is not customer evidence.
See the report format →These are founder research and a fictional sample, not paid customer testimonials. We do not yet have a $200 customer report available to share.
For a standard project, a question might be “Who were this person’s parents?” The deliverable is a report assessing that relationship, with supporting records or an explanation of why the evidence is insufficient—not a promise to uncover centuries of ancestry.
YOUR FAMILY STORY, THROUGH HISTORICAL RECORDS
A name, an approximate date, a place, or a family story can give us a starting point. We investigate documentary evidence, so a standard project needs no DNA test, genetic-data upload, or genealogy-account password.
We do not sell personal genealogy information. You can review how we use research tools, retain project records, and handle deletion requests in our privacy policy.
Your information and privacy →THE WORK BEHIND YOUR ANSWER
Our proprietary AI, research resources, and human review team work together on your question. We organize the clues, compare identities, examine contradictions, and turn the investigation into a source-cited report you can understand and build on.
You receive the findings, their supporting evidence, and a clear direction for the next step in your family research.
Explore our research approach →BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Research comes with uncertainty.
The process shouldn’t.
Our research review team checks every report before delivery: important claims against cited sources, consistency of identities and dates, conflicting evidence, uncertainty, and useful next steps. AI assists research and organization; human reviewers assess what the evidence supports.
The form screens the categories you select before payment. It is not a human feasibility assessment. Standard projects proceed to a $200 checkout, then detailed intake and human scope review before substantive research. If the project cannot reasonably fit the standard scope, we offer a full refund or an optional custom proposal. Special-category inquiries are reviewed without payment. Unsure? Email us before checkout.
Expect your standard research report by email in 3–5 days after payment and completed intake. If we need more information or identify a scope issue, we’ll contact you to explain the next step and any change to timing.
No DNA test, saliva sample, or genetic-data upload is needed for a standard project. We investigate historical records. You do not need an existing family tree or a personal genealogy subscription to order or read your report; some external source links may require separate access.
We combine custom proprietary AI with leading genealogy resources, databases, and expert human review. Our process brings together search planning, document analysis, translation, identity comparisons, and source citations to pursue your question across countries and languages. You receive a researched report, with important conclusions checked against the evidence.
THE NEXT CHAPTER STARTS WITH A QUESTION
Give us the person, the mystery, and what you already know.
We’ll investigate the evidence.
