AL5 - “The Long Haul": If you would like to commission Ancestral Line for long-term/specific research, or would like me to delve as far back as possible into your ancestry, then please get in touch. These kinds of projects can be time-consuming, so here at Ancestral Line, I am willing to let you set ceilings on price or hours of research, stopping and starting to suit your budget.
Please note that if, for some reason, the research on a particular individual or generation is not feasible, then I will let you know immediately, and we can either renegotiate or cancel your request. I will also give you regular progress updates.
AL6 - “Tree Surgery” : Your Family Tree is an eternal connection to your ancestors, an important graphical link to those who were your blood, your kin. In nature, a tree is only as strong and as pure as its supporting roots. The same can be said for a Family Tree, except in this case, you are the all-important roots. It is you who feeds and nurtures it, you who help it to grow and spread its branches. You do this by feeding it the correct information, acquired through hours of diligent research. Unfortunately, we can sometimes fall victim to inaccuracies, which can throw a Family Tree completely onto the wrong path/line, giving the owner a false Ancestral lineage. This is where Tree Surgery can help. Using the information supplied by you, I will attempt to identify and correct any inaccuracies, strengthening your Tree and proving your Ancestral Line with facts.
AL7- Visit Your Ancestral Home: If you have always wanted to visit the area where your Irish roots began, then please feel free to contact me. Ancestral Line has a proven track record in this field and would love to help.
