Payment must be made in full before research will begin.
If needed, you can split the cost with other family members. A family tree is an investment that will be for the benefit of all of your relatives, not just you!
Our rates are currently much lower than those of other genealogists - we recommend taking advantage of this while they are still low!
The more information you can provide, the less time we will spend looking up what you already know.
Generally, we recommend providing full names (maiden names for women), birth dates and birthplaces (death dates if applicable) for yourself, your parents, and your grandparents.
Anything extra you can provide (e.g. where do you think your ancestors came from? do you know anything about your great-grandparents?) is helpful as well.
"Thank you so much for taking time to do a mini-tree for me! It was awesome that you spent 2 hours rather then the the 1 hour your promised in the contest. I've always been curious about my family. I don't know a lot about them due to not having contact with a lot of family members and having family that has been unwilling or unable to talk. This has satisfied my curiosity a bit for now. I hope someday to be able to use your full services! I would recommend ST's Genieology to anyone wanting to know more about their family history!"

"It is always interesting to know "where you came from" or to whom you could be related. I think everyone has a sort of fascination with their ancestry. Schatzi did a great job of helping to shine a light on several ancestors that were previously unknown to me. It was good to talk with my family about them and give a little bit more credit to the people that literally helped to make me who I am today."
