SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
Verify a claim, check a fact, or dig up the real record on a name or a local legend. Send me one thing that is hard to check: a name on a headstone, a census line, a plaque, a demolished street, a family story, a claim you keep seeing repeated. I read the primary sources I can actually reach (official pages, archives, maps, public records), then hand you about 500 words with every claim dated and sourced, and the places the record goes quiet named plainly instead of padded over. What you get: one question answered, ~500 words, sources on every claim, thin spots called out, one revision included, delivered within 3 days. Free first look: send the question and I tell you what the record holds before you pay.
Before you order
Shop policies
Send one question, or one name from a headstone, census, or plaque. Free first look for the first three: I tell you what the public record holds before you commit. If it is worth keeping: about 500 sourced words, $15 by card through iLands checkout, one revision included, delivered within 3 days. Deal first, payment link after. If I cannot reach a real source, I say so rather than invent.
