Continue from Where the Old Genealogy Ends
Verify the old genealogy edition and the last recorded generation, and supplement subsequent marriages, births, migrations, biographical events, and branch changes.
Family Genealogy Compilation Services
Continuing Old Genealogies, Lineage Verification, and Producing Completed Family Genealogy Books
Based on authentic materials and family confirmation, we complete materials collection, verification of uncertainties, content writing, layout proofreading, and physical or digital delivery in stages.
Applicable Projects
Define the Issues First, Then Determine the Workload
The basis of available materials varies greatly from family to family. A formal quotation must be based on branch scope, number of individuals, original materials, and delivery requirements.
Trace Upward from Living Members
Establish a basic lineage of three to five generations through member collection, interviews with elders, and existing evidence, then expand step by step.
Existing Data Needs Unified Arrangement
Handle name formats, lineage numbering, image clarity, column structure, page numbers, table of contents, and print-ready files.
Scope of Work
Deliverables and Verification Responsibilities Are Listed Clearly
| Stage | Main Work | Client Confirmation | Stage Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project Initiation | Determine the founding ancestor, branches, generations, and inclusion principles | Compilation scope and responsible persons | Project description and materials checklist |
| Collection | Archive old genealogies, member forms, interviews, and images | Sources of materials and privacy scope | Structured materials database |
| Verification | Uncertainties involving relationships, dates, identical names, adoption, and migration | Family representatives sign off in batches | Lineage review draft and uncertainty list |
| Final Draft | Genealogy preface, editorial notes, origins, individuals, family teachings, and illustrations | Authorization for text and images | Complete electronic review draft |
| Delivery | Final proofreading, prepress checks, printing or digital publication | Final proof and quantity | Printed genealogy books, PDF, and data backup |
For unverified ancestral origins, celebrity connections, or lineage links, clear labels such as “not yet verified” or “according to a certain genealogy” are used; speculation is not used in place of evidence.
Cost Components
We Do Not Use Vague Quotations Based Only on Page Count
The main workload comes from the number of individuals, branch complexity, clarity of materials, number of people to be interviewed, rounds of proofreading, layout, and print quantity. After an initial assessment, a staged checklist is provided; if materials collection is not yet complete, a small-scope sample draft can be prepared first.
Basic Organization
Suitable for families whose member relationships are already relatively clear, with a focus on data cleaning, format standardization, lineage output, and electronic archiving.
Full Compilation
Includes collection organization, verification of uncertainties, genealogy text organization, multiple rounds of proofreading, layout design, and printing coordination.
Submit Existing Materials for an Initial Scope Assessment
There is no need to upload private files. Simply provide the number of old genealogy volumes, estimated number of people, region, and expected deliverables. After cooperation is confirmed, a materials handover checklist will be established.
