Custom Genealogy Research Project

If you are interested in learning about your ancestry but may not have the time or expertise to do it yourself, trust Wye Oak Genealogy to search your roots and discover your past. We will conduct 10 hours of professional and thorough research using a variety of online records, such as birth, marriage, and death certificates, census, military, naturalization, and land records. We will compile research findings into a sourced detailed report and electronically deliver to you via Portable Document Format (PDF).

Genealogical Hobbyist Support

We provide services for genealogy hobbyists who need professional assistance to double-check facts of previous research. Families often turn to family lore or legends as a way to trace their roots and connect with their heritage. These stories, passed down through generations, can offer valuable insights into their ancestors' lives, cultures, and traditions. However, it's important to acknowledge that not all family legends are necessarily true. Relying solely on these tales might lead to inaccuracies. To uncover the factual history, it's wise to turn to professional genealogical services like Wye Oak Genealogy. We will access historical documents, records, and other reliable sources that validate or expand upon the family legends. This comprehensive approach ensures that the family's true heritage is revealed, transforming myths into a more accurate and complete story. We revive cold cases (i.e., break through brick walls), resolve challenging research problems, and conduct Delaware-Maryland-Virginia (DelMarVa) and Pennsylvania regional research at libraries and cemeteries. Photography and transcriptions of graves are also available services in this package.

Homestead Research

Genealogical research of homesteads provides a captivating glimpse into the lives and stories of those who lived in a particular house, weaving together the history of the dwelling, the locale, and the broader historical context. This research may uncover details about the original builders and owners, architectural evolution, and significant events that shaped the property. By delving into local records, newspapers, and archives, one can trace the lineage of ownership, uncovering tales of families who called the homestead their home. Additionally, the research highlights the historical significance of the locale, illustrating how the surrounding community and historical events influenced the lives of the inhabitants. This comprehensive approach not only preserves the rich legacy of the homestead but also fosters a deeper connection to the past, bringing history to life through the lens of one cherished home.

Heritage Locale Research

We offer services for heritage tourists who want to travel to countries, cities, towns, and sites of family relevance. If you are planning a trip to the “old country,” and want to walk in the footsteps of your ancestors, we can research where your ancestor came from, research the relevant area, provide a detailed report including historical context, and suggest visits to locations and sites of ancestral importance.

Military Service Research

We offer specialized research services for descendants of military veterans. This includes researching military databases for service records and providing a detailed report with historical context of your veteran’s military life. We can also help identify military uniforms and campaign medals you might discover in grandpa’s attic.
