What your name really means. Not the internet guess. The real story, from the records.
Where your family began. The place, and the world your name was born into.
How the name came to you. The old spellings, the changes, and the journey to where your family settled.
Where to look next. If you ever want to go deeper, you will know exactly where.
How it comes: a written report, typically 12 to 18 pages, your name on the cover. To your email within 48 hours. Print it, keep it, share it with family.

Most people carry their name for life and never learn what it says. The internet gives you a thin guess. The real answer sits in the old records. That is where I go.
You give me three things. Your surname, as your family spells it. Where your family settled. Any old spellings you know. Then I get to work. Where the records are certain, the report says so. Where a name points two ways, it tells you both.
It works for the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain.
Your surname is only half your family. Every family is two lines — your father's and your mother's. The Research traces one name.
The Family Name Heirloom traces both — and turns them into a keepsake your family hands down: the volume, the framing certificate, the letter, and the record pages. It is $40 more, and it is the one most people choose.
Through the records almost nobody knows how to read. Church books five hundred years old. Ship lists. Census pages by the millions. Surname studies built over a century. Much of it is in Latin, or in old scripts most people alive today can't read. This is what I'm good at. This is what I've been doing for decades.
Within 48 hours, to your email — a written report you can read, print and keep.
Rare names are often the best ones. If a name genuinely can't be traced with confidence, your report says exactly what can be known, what can't, and where to search next — and the guarantee always stands.
If the research doesn't tell you something about your name you never knew, write within 30 days and you get every penny back.
