Services
We help people build credible stories based on solid research. Are
you having trouble taking your family history back another
generation? Interested in knowing more about the history of your
house or neighborhood? Want to know more about a specific ancestor?
Need a transcription of an early document? Or, are you working on another kind of historical project? If your
research focus is Kentucky, especially the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries, I may be of some assistance.
If you are interested in the services offered, please contact me
about your project. Once research goals and scope are established, you will be
asked to provide any relevant information you already have,
including:
• names of spouses, siblings, parents, grandparents, etc.
• vital statistics (birth, marriage and death information)
• public records including deeds, census, estate, court, military
• family group sheets or any ancestor/descendant charts
• family origin traditions (please state briefly)
• any other family reports
Before work can begin, Building Histories requires a completed
research contract and deposit.

All services are provided under contract. This works to the benefit
