Additional Expert Connect Services

There are six services experts can help with your family history research.

Custom Research: Outsource an entire section of your family tree, or recruit a seasoned genealogist for a project that's beyond your experience or time availability. Learn more.

Ask an Expert: Pose a research question to a panel of experts, but only pay for the most useful answer. Then proceed with your research on your own. Learn more.

Record Lookup: Hire an expert to verify a hunch you have about an ancestor. Rely on an expert to identify the document you need and track it down for you. Learn more.

Record Pickup: Save yourself a cross-country trip. Hire a researcher in another state to visit a specific archive, collect the record you need and mail it to you. Learn more.

Language Translation: You’ve found a critical document on your ancestor, but cannot read the language. Find an experienced translator to interpret the document for you. Learn more.

Local Photo: Get a picture of your grandmother's headstone without leaving your living room. Pay a researcher who lives near her old hometown to snap the photo for you. Learn more.
