Research scope
All research is performed within the 8 allocated hours, and is delivered in English.
The research follows the direct male line: your starting person’s father, that father’s father, and so on.
Spouses are recorded, but their own line is not researched.
If a direct line is broken, the next available line is followed (for example, the mother of a child whom father is unknown).
The research is using French archival sources but may exceptionally extend to Belgium and Luxembourg.
What you receive
- One 70-to-100-page printed book presenting the reconstructed lineage and containing English transcriptions of the records found.
- One pedigree chart
- One 70-to-150-page booklet containing the original record images (typical number of records found: 15 to 25, subject to record availability). Please note: This booklet is not included in the service price and is offered on a complimentary basis due to potential copyright and reuse restrictions imposed by archives.
Page counts and the number of records found are good‑faith estimates based on typical outcomes; actual figures depend on what the archives contain and may be higher or lower.
Research depth
For a starting person born after the late 1800s, the research may reach the mid‑ to late 1700s.
If the starting person was born before 1800, it may stretch into the early 1700s to late 1600s. Everything depends on what records have survived.
