Genealogy Services

  Member, Association of Professional Genealogists

Do you…

  • want to know your family history, but don’t have the time necessary to research it yourself?
  • want your ancestors to be more than just names and dates?
  • need help breaking through a brick wall?
  • need affordable access to records in central Ohio repositories?
  • need German or French documents translated accurately?

Let Marshallsay Historical Consulting help you build and share your family tree!

We realize that genealogy is more than just names with birth and death dates attached.  These were people with jobs, and families, and, well… lives!  Understanding the historical context of the times they lived will help you make more sense of the world they inhabited.

We specialize in Ohio, Maryland, England, and Germany. Services include:

  • Researching ancestral lines
  • Building multiple-name family trees
  • Simple record lookups
  • Family home or gravestone photographs (Central Ohio only)
  • Attacking research problems (maiden names, common names, re-marriages, etc.)
  • Video interviews/oral histories with living family members
  • Document transcription
  • Document translation (from German or French into English)
  • Writing and editing family histories for preservation and sharing

All research is documented with complete source citations.
