Custom Research
Are you stuck on a particular research topic?
Are there just one or two “problem” ancestors that you need help to research?
Would you like to continue research past the five generations in your Family Tree Package?
At Ancestry Helper, we are here to help! We offer family history research on an hourly basis. You can order as many or as few hours as you feel you need. We generally suggest you sign up for two to five hours to get started and we will update you if additional funds are needed. Don’t worry… you only authorize as much as you feel you need, and if we determine your need is a specialized one that we don’t handle, we will simply refund your credit card! So what do you have to lose? Maybe we can finally find great-grandpa Whosit for you!
Ancestry Helper is a Michigan based corporation so we are particularly strong in Michigan based and Dutch research but will tackle any problem except adoption research, Native American tribal proof work, and certain overseas research.

My husband and I bought a Family Tree Package as a Christmas gift for his grandmother and she was so excited about it that she didn’t even want to open her other gifts! She is so thrilled that she can’t stop talking about it.

I had come to a complete standstill for years trying to figure out what happened to a set of great-great grandparents after they came over from the Netherlands. In two hours of custom research, Ancestry Helper found them. AH also determined that one was actually a step-great grandparent, found the parents of both, and when and where they were born in Holland. I’m going to tell my friends about Ancestry Helper!
