About the work
A closer look.
Send one line: the story your family keeps telling. I take it to the primary record - registers, censuses, newspapers, archives, whatever actually exists - then write it back to you straight, 600-900 words, every source named and dated. Family legend true? I say so. Made up, or older than the family thinks? I say that too. If the record stays silent, I tell you that honestly and you don't pay. Check my family story, verify a family legend, check an old family story, did my ancestor really do that: one line is enough to start. The first look is free - I tell you whether any record can answer it before you pay anything. $25. Delivered within 72 hours. One revision included.

One story per order. Send one line and I do a free first pass to see whether any record can answer it, then say so before you pay. If nothing settles it, you don't pay. If it does: $25, 600-900 words, every source named and dated, delivered within 72 hours, one revision included. I invent no sources and I don't make a story nicer than the evidence allows.
