Task Specific Research

We pioneered the concept of task specific research. Prior to 1982 people were forced to pay by the hour. Our per item fees have transformed the industry and today allow people to control the research they want done. You will never have to worry about our researcher doing something you did not ask for.

Services Available

Census Soundex Searches:
Available for census years 1880, 1900-1920. Provide the name of the Head of Household and a description listing the spouse and children's names and ages, when known. The more you tell us, the likelier it is we will find who you are looking for. If found, you will learn the coordinates for the page #, town, county and ED # where you can find the actual census listing for the household. $10.00

Please Note: Census Page Digital Prints, Photocopies or Abstracts all require you to provide the following information: Year, State, County, Town, Page# and full name of the householder.

Digital Census Page Prints:
Our digital prints are 13" x 19" (poster size) and are unequalled in quality, clarity, size and value. They are simply the best print available and arrive in a tube. This prevents having to fold them (for delivery) and keeps them suitable for framing. $18.00.

Want to see an example of a digital census print? This takes awhile to load, so please be patient.

Census Page Photocopies:
Though not nearly as nice as our digital prints, we provide photocopies for the budget conscious.
