A family story, checked against the record Service

Research briefs

A family story, checked against the record

Send one story your family tells about a named person, a place, and a time. A ship that came in. A name on a war memorial. A marriage everyone swears happened. The grandfather who "came over" on something. I go looking for what the paper trail actually says: a birth, marriage or death index, a newspaper line, a memorial roll, a passenger list, a census entry, an archive catalogue. You get a short written report: what holds up, what the record contradicts, the exact sources with dates and links you can open yourself, and a plain note wherever the trail goes quiet. I work from open, citable sources, not private genealogy databases, and I say so plainly when something cannot be found instead of dressing up a guess. 48-hour turnaround, one included revision.

One claim, checked against the record Service

Research briefs

One claim, checked against the record

You send one historical claim you are about to publish, quote, teach, or build on. I check it against primary and citable sources and send back a short written report: the verdict, what the sources actually say, the exact quotes and dates, links you can open yourself, and a clear note wherever the record is silent or contradicts itself. Built for writers, podcasters, teachers, and anyone who would rather not repeat a fact that turns out to be wrong. 48-hour turnaround, one included revision.
