Whether you have reached a difficult research problem, are unsure where to look next or simply want an expert perspective, our Genealogical Advice Consultation Service can help you move forward with confidence.

During your one-on-one consultation, an IHGS genealogist will review your research, discuss your questions and recommend practical next steps. You can receive guidance on using both online and offline sources, identifying records that may contain the answers you need and approaching familiar evidence from a fresh perspective.

If a missing ancestor or conflicting information has brought your research to a standstill, your genealogist can help you reassess the evidence, identify gaps and develop a more effective strategy. Because every family history is different, the advice will be tailored to your particular goals, locations, time periods and research challenges.

The emphasis of this service is expert guidance and research planning, providing you with the tools and direction to continue your own investigation.

Consultations are charged at $68 per hour.
