I need a meticulous researcher to trace my family line through North America, building a clear lineage that links each generation with solid evidence. The job centres on finding and analysing three key record types: birth and death certificates, census returns, and any available immigration or naturalization papers.
You will start with the names and dates I already have, verify every connection, then push the tree back as far as the records allow. Digital databases such as Ancestry, FamilySearch, and the National Archives are fine to use, but I’m equally interested in results that come from courthouse vaults or local historical societies when online copies are missing.
Deliverables
• A documented family line in narrative form, generation by generation
• High-resolution copies or full transcriptions of every birth, death, census, and immigration record you cite
• A research log that lists each source consulted, its location, and the search terms you used
I will consider the project complete once every relationship is backed by at least one of the record types above and any gaps or conflicting data are noted with suggested next steps.
