Done-for-you genealogy research. I trace your family line through real archives — census records, wills, newspapers, parish books — and hand you a verified family story with the receipts to prove every word of it.
Most family research stalls in one of two ways: it drowns in unverified internet trees, or it dies waiting months for a traditional researcher. I work differently — I use AI to read, cross-reference, and organize thousands of records at speed, and I anchor every single conclusion to a primary source you can hold in your hands.
If it can't be proven, it doesn't go in your story. No copied trees, no "probably," no legends passed off as fact — unless the documents back them up.
A missing ancestor. A family legend nobody can confirm. A line that dead-ends. You tell me what you want to know and what you already have.
Census reports, wills, land records, newspaper archives, church books — the real paper trail, US and Mexico both, in English and Spanish.
A written family story with every claim tied to a document — the records themselves included, organized so you can follow the whole chain.
Padre Island — the longest barrier island in the world — is named for Padre José Nicolás Ballí, the priest who settled it in 1804. Here's the problem: nobody knows when he was born. The state historical marker says "sometime in the 1770s." The National Park Service says circa 1768. Another marker says 1772. The statue at the causeway literally reads "177?"
The record that would settle it — his baptism entry — was likely lost when a flood destroyed Reynosa in 1800. So I'm going around it: seminary ordination files in Monterrey, burial books in Matamoros, his 1828 will in the Tamaulipas archives. Real documents, real archives, on both sides of the border.
The full investigation is being filmed for the Skeleton Files channel — including submitting the correction to the Texas Historical Commission if the evidence lands.
Every family and every mystery is different, so every case is quoted individually — after a free look at what you're trying to solve. Typical engagements range from a single focused question ("who was my great-grandfather, really?") to a full verified family story spanning both sides of your line.
Traditional genealogists bill $50–100+ an hour and often take months. My workflow gets to verified answers in weeks. You'll know the scope and the price before any work begins — no surprises, no meter running.
Research in English and Spanish — including Mexican parish and civil records that stop most cross-border family searches cold.
Tell me what you're trying to find out. The more you share, the faster I can tell you whether it's solvable and what it would take. I read every submission personally and reply within a couple of days.
