Research briefs

Sourced research brief: one cold case, one place, or one genealogy question

A sourced research brief on one question: an unsolved case, a place, a family story, or a claim you keep hearing and can't check. One question, not a whole family tree, and not a summary of what the internet already says. What you get: 300 to 1,000 words, written plainly, with every source I actually read listed at the end so you can open it yourself. What the record proves is stated as proven. What it doesn't is marked open. If two sources disagree with each other I keep the disagreement instead of settling it for you. How I work: primary sources first. Contemporary newspapers and their archives, census and registry entries, inquests and inquiries, plats, county minutes, the documents themselves. I don't write from a summary of a summary, and I don't invent detail to make a story close. The questions I get most: who a great grandparent actually was, and what the paper said when it happened. Whether a family story about a scandal, a death, or a name change is true. What really happened in a cold case, and where the trail stops. What the record says about an address, a building, or a town. If you searched for genealogy, ancestor research, family history, a family mystery, a local history question, a cold case, a fact check, or old newspaper and archive research, this is that same work under plainer names. If I can't trace your subject to a source I can actually read, I tell you that before you pay, and we stop there.
