Research Packages Built in Steps

Request a Consultation

How the packages work

 Research gets harder the further back you go. Older records are scattered, handwritten, and harder to connect to the right person. So, my packages work like steps: each one covers a set band of generations and begins where the previous one ends.

If you have nothing documented yet, we start with Generations 1–4. If those are already proven with documents, you can begin at Generations 5–8. Not sure where you stand? The Research Assessment will tell you.


All packages will be worked into the researcher's existing schedule in the order purchased. 

Starting Packages

Consultation + Written Plan — $95

Research Assessment — 5 hours — $131.25
Research Assessment — 5 hours — $131.25

 I review your shared tree or documents as well as your emailed questions and goals and afterward you receive a written plan: either a do-it-yourself research plan (which records to find, where to look, and in what order), or a written quote for the package that fits your problem. Phone consultations only when necessary. (Written communication can be referred back to for accuracy.) The consultation fee is credited toward any package booked within 30 days.

Brick walls and Complex cases

  

Some problems can't be priced by generation: unknown parentage, several men with the same name, burned courthouses, conflicting records, DNA-dependent proof. For these, we start with a 10-hour block ($262.50) or 20-hour block ($525). At the end of the block, I report what I found and recommend the next step. No further work is done without your approval.

I am pleased to report that the application for Mr. (redacted) has been approved. A letter of welcome will be mailed to him.

"Finding Jessica's Genealogy online was the best thing that could have happened for us. We started out doing our family tree research by ourselves using Ancestry, but we could only get so far. Jessica uses cutting-edge DNA analysis to find things that we never could have on our own.

Our family tree research is very important to us. The initial time we spent doing our own research was rewarding, but as time went on, the time we spent resulted in diminishing returns. Now we have more time to do other things, knowing that Jessica is continuing on doing the hard work in making our family tree the best as we can in order to pass on our legacy to our loved ones.

From our experience, Jessica is very professional and a genuinely nice person to deal with. Our project is relatively small compared to some of her other projects, but still, she gives it her utmost effort and attention. 

We would highly recommend Jessica's Genealogy to anyone who is serious about getting accurate and timely results.

Marie & Ron"



About three years ago my wonderful researcher became ill and referred me to Jessica McManus Paul as a possible replacement. The transfer was smooth and I couldn't be happier with her work. I am not able to do much research as I am 86 so after preliminary research, I have turned final research over to her for proofs and preparation of DAR and Mayflower application forms. She has actually found and proved Patriots that I was previously unaware of in my previous 25 years of research.

Do you have DNA mysteries in your own family? Is what you’ve been told your entire life a lie or simply misinformation? Has family folklore and lack of tradition always caused you to ponder the truth in your inner self? Well, look no further than Jessica. Her DNA matching expertise and super sleuth skills have cracked open a forty-five-year-old mystery within my own family. I was trying to find out my biological father’s true mother and father. Jessica sought, and she found. I also learned my true DNA ethnicity after a lifelong inner struggle with what I was always told. If you or someone you know is staring at a long list of DNA matches, please reach out to Jessica. Her skills and education far surpass many others out there and because of her, I now have the true identity of my own self.

Good to know (The Fine Print)

  All time spent on your project counts toward your package: research, analysis, emails and calls, report writing, and application preparation.


All package prices include a 5% research technology and support fee, which covers the research tools and software used on your project. It is already part of the price shown, not an extra charge.


Package prices do not include society application fees, annual dues, or the cost of certified copies and record orders. Records of living people (such as the applicant's and parents' birth, marriage, and death certificates) must be ordered by the applicant. Other record fees are billed at cost, and only with your approval first.


Research packages are structured around estimated research time and typical generational depth. The number of generations that can be established varies with record availability, evidence conflicts, jurisdiction, and the complexity of each ancestral link. Difficult or undocumented links may require additional research blocks.


Every project has a 5-hour minimum. Projects under $500 are paid in full before work begins; projects of $500 or more are paid half up front and the balance before the final report is released.


I am open to special financing on large projects!

Frequently Asked Questions

 If you're not sure, start with the Research Assessment or a Consultation. I'll tell you honestly where you stand and which package, if any, fits. 


  No genealogist can guarantee what the records will show. Every hour is documented in your research log, including searches that came up empty, because knowing where an answer isn't matters too. When your hours are nearly used, I'll tell you what I found and recommend the next step.
