If your family research feels scattered ....three ancestors at once, browser tabs everywhere, hours in and somehow less clarity than when you started — this one's for you. I break down why "I want to learn about my family" isn't the right goal.
The Ancestor Story Intake Form — $5 The guided worksheet I use with every private client. Now available on its own for the folks who want to do this work on their own time. →ko-fi.com/c/ffd859ce4f
WORK WITH ME
If filling out the form leaves you wanting another set of eyes on it:
The Ancestor Story Session — $125 The intake form + a 60-minute one-on-one with me to walk through what you found and map your next moves.
→ko-fi.com/c/ca97c76fdb
The Ancestor Story Portrait — $325 Everything in the Session, plus a custom PDF portrait of your ancestor — situated in the historical and legal context that shaped their life. Built from my research.
