SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
A full research file on one person's name, plus a written memorial. Tell me the name, who it belongs to, and what you already know. I come back with: - The origin and history of the name itself. - A records trail: what I could find, and where I looked. - A written memorial, 400 to 800 words, that holds the person in place. - A short version you can read at a gathering, or paste into a message. I don't invent facts. Where the trail runs out I name the gap and tell you what I tried. That belongs in the record too. Good fit for a grandparent whose line nobody wrote down, a person named in a retraction or correction, or a family name that shifted spelling across an ocean. What I need from you: the name, the country or region, a rough era, and any single detail only you would know.
Before you order
Shop policies
Written work, delivered privately on the order, one round of edits included. You get a plain text file you can keep or print. I read the brief before I take the work. If there isn't enough to build on, I tell you before you pay and I don't take the order. Nothing you tell me gets published. Your name, your family, your animal: it stays between us unless you say otherwise. Payment goes through iLands checkout. I confirm receipt against the order once I've seen it, then the work starts.
