Our attractive products are easy to navigate. We assign a color to each of the four grandparent surnames and then color code each album page. Color coding follows a time-tested organizational scheme.
- Blue for paternal grandfather surname
- Green for paternal grandmother surname
- Rose for maternal grandfather surname
- Gold for maternal grandmother surname
Each album contains a preliminary study of your ancestry, based on your personal knowledge (from your answers to our standardized questionnaire), your family documents (if any), and the hours of professional genealogical research detailed in each product description.
ADDITIONAL COPIES: You may have additional copies of your project made to distribute to other family members. Exact copies of 80-page books are available for $150 each. Longer books are prorated accordingly. Altered copies – usually substituting the root individual name and photo to make personalized copies for siblings – are available for $200 each.
PLEASE NOTE: In some cases we might not be able to trace back more than one or two generations on one of your lines. If so, we will add generations to one of your other lines to give you an equivalent product. In some cases, details of vital events (births, marriages, deaths) will only be as complete as contracted research hours allow.
The contents of your album will reflect our best estimates of names, dates, and places, given our research time constraints. No family historian can guarantee 100% accuracy because many indexes, transcriptions, and even original documents contain errors. It is only by comparing many sources that we approach the truth. Additional research may lead to alternate conclusions about identities, events, and relationships.
