Testimonials
I was able to connect more closely to my past. It made my history come alive in a more real way. I just want to find out more about everyone in my past now.
Sheri C.
The research Austin Genealogy presented us was the highlight of our family reunion this summer. We are always looking for information to add to our family history and they found sources we had never thought of. We especially loved the newspaper articles and photos that really brought the past generations alive. Great detective work!
Greg H.
It is really wonderful to have all this information. The historical information and context was really great. I was surprised to hear the details about the ship Charles came over on, even a diary from the journey. It was also surprising that my great-grandfather died so young. It made me want to hear more about other lines of the family.
Lisa G.
Austin Genealogy compiled a vast amount of historical data into an easily comprehensible display. Best of all, Jamie and Janet presented their findings with a passion for my family’s unique history. It was not simply an ancestry report, but a personal story of my origin. A story I feel privileged to pass down to my future family. I was especially impressed with the amount of auxiliary material provided. The collected pictures and documents added context to the world my ancestors inhabited and provided a more intimate connection to my past. Austin Genealogy demonstrates a clear passion for familial history and the pursuit of it through research and discovery.

The thing that interests me most about family history is the gap between the things we think we know about our families and the realities.

We take accuracy seriously. We rely on a variety of reliable, and, where possible, multiple sources to ensure accuracy.
We generally work with package rates:
Tiny Tree: $150-$250. Typical product deliverables: Story format of one ancestor (example: great grandparent). Main key life events: Source information provided.
Heritage Explorer: $500. Typical product deliverables: Story format of two (2) of your ancestors (example: grandparent, great grandparent). Vital records (birth/death/marriage) records, migration, historical references, life events, translations, etc. Source information provided.

All formats are in Google slides or Powerpoint or Canva. Note: To confirm identities and life events, it is often necessary to order documents (e.g., birth, death, marriage records) from various government agencies. Most documents cost $15-$25 each; this would be added to the package cost.
We also do assistance with dual citizenship. Please contact us for more information on any of the above.
