"When I realized I had to learn more about my family, I decided that a professional genealogist would uncover far more than I could on my own. That was one of the best decisions I ever made. From the first report, MyGenealogist.com has uncovered things that I should have known – but did not know – about my family. Just as an example, MyGenealogist.com discovered that my paternal grandmother, to whom I was quite close, had a brother who I never knew existed despite the fact that he lived nearby. I subsequently learned that this great uncle shot and killed a man attempting to abduct him. I also learned that his father (my great, great uncle) was probably murdered several years later. My family is far more colorful than I could have ever imagined! By comparison, Desperate Housewives is fairly mundane! My friends have become far more respectful (possibly fearful). I cannot wait to learn more.”

"I was very pleased with how the researchers at MyGenealogist.com handled my family history. Everyone I talked to or emailed was happy and helpful. I bought 10 hours of research for my mom for Christmas and she loved it! It is a great idea for a gift for the person that has everything. I found out about many members of my family from 100 years ago! Thanks so much!"

"I have received the research that you have done on my family and have had time to go through it. I will be spending the next few months combing though what you have given me. I am sure that I will be contacting you in the future about more research in the future. I am extremely impressed with what you found and the detail of information that you gave in the report. This coming from a fellow researcher and documenter is very high praise.
My family would absolutely not believe me when I told them that I believed that my great-grand father had a brother here in America, now that we have proof they are dumbfounded. My grandfather never mentioned to anyone having an uncle here. We don’t know why no one has ever heard of this line of the family before. I am spending time trying to trace them down. I have found the family though the 1930’s on the census and they lived very close by. I now have to find the children and see if they know the story, of course in those days 25 miles was a long way in a horse and buggy.
You did a remarkable job and I am a very happy customer. Your skills are first rate. You obviously have an excellent knowledge of the LDS database as well as Danish databases. I know how hard it is to go through these records and how addictive it is as it is my hobby. I can not thank you enough for all of your work. If someone needs a recommendation before undertaking your services, do not hesitate to give them my name
and number. I will be happy to give you a good recommendation."

"When I decided to do a family search, I began looking on the Internet for companies who could assist me. MyGenealogist.com was very informative and interesting and I knew early on that I would choose them to do my research. From the very start, questions were answered in emails that were friendly, enthusiastic, and easy to understand. I was so impressed with their obvious enthusiasm for their work. My project was completed on time and at the agreed upon price and was a huge hit with my parents, who received it as a Christmas present from me. I would hire MyGenealogist again anytime and, in fact, am considering doing a search on my husband's family for next Christmas. Thanks so much MyGenealogist.com!"

"I just got the package with the research in it on Saturday. I was on the phone with my mother for almost 2 hours going over various aspects of it with her. You certainly did find some fascinating and heretofore unproved information! This is going to send shock waves through some of the family members, I think, once I get copies out to them. This might propel a desire for more research -- I don't know for sure, but I think there might be a desire to pitch in from some people to do some of the research you suggested. I'll let you know if that becomes the case. Absolutely great work! Thanks!!!"

"What an extreme pleasure it has been to do business with MyGenealogist.com and its researchers! In anticipation of a trip to Scotland, and knowing we had some Scottish heritage, we decided to try to uncover enough family history to identify general areas in Scotland that may have been part of our past. On short notice and with contagious enthusiasm, MyGenealogist.com accepted our research project and met our travel deadline. They even found a book that had been published ten years ago about one branch of our family. We are fascinated with the results; intrigued by our ancestors, amazed at the sense of continuity we are experiencing, and anxious to learn more…much more! We have the utmost confidence in the competence, reliability and diligence of MyGenealogist.com…they are excellent and we recommend them without hesitation!"

"When I began searching our family tree for a new last name I could adopt for myself, I had no idea of the adventure it would be working with the great people at MyGenealogist.com Not only were they friendly, happy and helpful, but professional and competent beyond my expectation! The staff was able to meet a tough deadline and get my grandmother additional information on a fascinating piece of our family history in time for her 91st birthday party. The whole family became interested in learning about our origins and it was a wonderful way to share the news."

“I am incredibly impressed with the outstanding job you did on my family research project. During my 30 hour project you got me vital, land, and other records on my mother’s family in Ireland that I was unable to locate myself. You put together my rather fragmented family tree, included all sources, and even found someone to translate an ancient family pedigree from India! Thank you for your attention to detail, as well as your professionalism and honesty. I particularly appreciated your explanation and forthrightness about the challenges of working with certain Irish records. Thank you for doing everything you said you would. I am excited to be working with a company whose researchers obviously have a passion for this type of work. I would say if you want results use MyGenealogist for all of your family research!"

After doing some initial internet research, I decided to get some help from a professional. When I worked with MyGenealogist.com, they always answered all of my questions, completed my project on time, and even included a free research credit to fully document information from my previous research. Because of the high quality of their work, I will be consulting with them for more research into other branches of my family.”

"First I want to thank you both for not giving up on getting the package of information to us while we were at the reunion. My niece did receive it and brought it to our meeting. We presented the material and everyone was extremely interested and intrigued. I am so glad you pursued getting the information to us. The information you garnered was fabulous.
I'm amazed you found out as much as you did. I loved the synopsis of each family. My parents are in their 80s and had tears in their eyes learning about their past family members. My mother was amazed her family lived in the US so long. They are engrossed in the paperwork and will be for quite some time. Thanks for your diligent and thorough work. It's a pleasure to work with individuals of such high caliber."

"There have always been stories in my family that one of my grandmothers was full blood Native American. I never paid much attention to them until my youngest daughter wanted me to get verification in order for her to apply for scholarships for college. I knew the research was more than I would be able to do myself so I contacted MyGenealogist. Within a short amount of time they tracked an entire line in my family. The amount of data and documentation backing up the data is incredible. Although I have not found the Native American for my daughter, I have learned so much about my family that I intend to document all I do learn for my children and family members. Just going through this process is helping me to understand much more about my family and all the people I never even knew."

"My mother was kind of the family historian. She had done work on her parents side of the family and was able to trace one branch back to the Revolutionary War. But that was only one of the three grandparents that I was able to trace. My father's family was a complete blank. I started to trace my father's family back and ran into a blank wall very quickly. The staff at MyGenealogist were terrific at finding out so much about that branch of the family. They were good to work with and were able to take what research I had done and expand on it dramatically. Their work was professional and thorough. I would recommend them to anyone."

However, regardless of the outcome, my mom is contented and happy that she knows the identity of both of her parents and their families. Anything we learn from here on is 'icing on the cake'. Again, thank you and I would definitely recommend your services to anyone who is looking into their family history. Thanks also to Abigail!"

"I received the package, thank you. Some things, like the census records, I had - but what I didn't have were some of the death records and obituaries. It was the Henry C.B. von Thun obituary in particular which linked all of the siblings together. I was surprised that not all of the siblings listed in this obituary were listed in the family group, but am pleased to have that missing link. And, I see that there is proof positive for Peter and Anna von Thun, as well as Anna's maiden name and parents names. There is clearly a great deal of work in this, and I'm happy with the results. Thank you to you and your researchers."

"I was thrilled that MyGenealogist.com helped me connect with Irish family I never knew existed. You helped us find living relatives that had left Ireland more than 100 years ago! These were not distant relatives, but close relatives that we did not know about. Because of this research we were able to tour the towns where my ancestors were born and lived for generations. You created this great experience and you did so affordably. Finding our Irish and Italian relatives was profound, and the excitement and family bonding that came from that experience was really precious. The tour guide that you connected us with in Italy was also fantastic and he really made that trip special for my family too."

"I just returned home from a business trip with my husband to find your package! I was delighted--no ecstatic--to see the report. I have only had a chance to look at it briefly but it seems to contain a wealth of information and to be carefully and thoroughly documented. I had an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and excitement as I looked through the family group records and saw so many names--I can't wait to examine them all in detail.
Please know that I am deeply moved and thrilled to hold this family record in my hands. I know I couldn't have done this myself and I look forward to sharing this information with other family members. By the way, it was especially fun to see the copy of the birth record for Andrew and I hope those kind ladies received my thank you. Please convey my deep gratitude to all those involved in making this happen and particularly to Karel.
I was so touched when I read about the experience of looking at the records in the Klatovy municipal office. My eyes filled with tears as I read Karel's description--it was all I hoped would happen as the search for Andrew went forward. I am so excited to see a copy of the original record. I feel very blessed by what happened and appreciate all those who made it happen. I feel like I am on Cloud 9!"

"I'm taking this journey one step at a time and I'm very proud of myself and the maturity with which I'm able to take all of this in . . . . . a maturity that I truly don't feel I would have been capable of before I began this journey with you . . . in other words, regardless of what happened in the past I was not ready to connect until I contacted you . . . I see that now and it's sad to know my biological mother could not be a part of this journey as I'm certain it would have brought a final peace to her life . . . for that I'm sorry however I can only do what I've always done and that is move forward. Thank you again for honouring me with being a part of my journey and with your patience and understanding and your tact. Know that you are performing a very important service for people and you are performing it extremely well!"
