Family Histories
We
conduct a thorough study based on your interests and budget. We
present the results to you in report form, including a family
history narrative, sample documents, maps, local area history
as available,
and fully-documented
sources. We can even include your family photos! Create
a family heirloom to pass down to your children or to present
as a gift to your parents.
You set the parameters, and Midwest Ancestor Research will write your family history - from your own research, or a combination of yours and ours.
Based on your needs and desires, we will lay out the text in a format that suits you and your family - complete with table of contents, clips of interesting census images and other historic documents, and appropriate maps and quotations from area histories.
For example:
The family finally settled in Mendota, Minnesota in 1848. The household is listed in the 1849 Minnesota Territorial “Sences” as having 5 men and 4 women. The St. Antoines lived next door to Margaret’s father, Louis Provençalle by 1850.
Charles purchased his Mendota farm on October 1, 1855 (see his deed to the land, shown above). His land was near land purchased by his and Margaret’s oldest son, Pierre St. Antoine, in May, 1855.
We produce family histories complete with source citations. We can include your family's historic photographs.
We research the historic context of the times, to provide you insights to your family's history.
You will receive a bibliography and recommended reading list, in the event you wish to read more about your ancestors' time. Recommended reading includes websites you can visit for more information.
