Seven Reasons to Use Our Services

Learn More

  1. We perform on-site record searches. Many of the records needed to document a family history are not available on the Internet. Personnel at the New York State Library, New York State Archives, New York Public Library, and National Archives and Records Administration will not conduct searches for you.
  2. Location, location, location. We have access to records in the New York City metropolitan area and in the upstate Albany area, two central locations for New York State documents.
  3. We'll search it, find it, and retrieve it for you. Some repositories will retrieve documents only if you have the exact document information.
  4. We get faster results. Written requests for vital records from the NY State Department of Health take nine to ten months. We can get the records to you in one month or less.
  5. We return more value by taking the broader view. We will retrieve information on additional family members discovered within same record series to help you in your search.
  6. We understand the process: where records are located and how best to search them. We are able to construct reliable cost estimates in terms of our time and your money.
  7. We explain the research process up front. We will work with you to find the research solution to your information need and deliver it on time and for the agreed price.
