Genealogy Coaching
Together let's discover your family history. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, I can help you begin building your family tree, help with genealogy strategies, finding new resources and record groups, or just serve as another set of eyes to review what you've done and look for errors or missed opportunities.
Individual Sessions
Hour long sessions are conducted via Zoom and recorded to review for 30 days. You can share your tree (or DNA) with me in advance or share your screen.
Group Sessions
Hour long sessions divide the time between four group members (& me). Conducted on Zoom, recordings are available for 30 days. If you miss the session you can still learn from the group as you watch the recording.
In Person Sessions
If you happen to live in Southern California, maybe we could meet face-to-face, nothing beats that. I would love to help you in your family history journey!

Hiring out a research project
Sometimes it's nice to hand off a project. Perhaps you just don't have time or feel out of your depth. Maybe you've hit a brick wall and don't know how to scale it. I can build your family tree or work to conquer that wall. Let's unlock your past!
Research Projects
How They Work
Chat With Me
Whether you want to learn more about a mysterious relative or embark on a journey to create your family tree — choosing the right genealogist is crucial. Our initial complimentary consultation will discuss your research goals and craft a reasonable research objective.
(Research projects are a minimum of 15 hours.)
Estimate
Upon review of your objective, I will determine a recommended project time block, allowing me to provide a personalized proposal and cost.
(Research rates are $89/ hour.)
In the meantime, you will gather all the information and documents you have on the family ensuring you provide me with all known facts.
The Project Begins
Upon payment of the retainer fee (1/2 of the project cost), I will schedule your project. Regular updates will occur once the project has begun.
Upon completion, you will receive a report and calendar of research, including both positive and negative research results. Final payment is due upon receipt of the project.

Customer Reviews
Coaching
"I have loved the the sessions, and you have given me so many excellent tips and advice and ideas that I will be busy implementing and using them in researching for many months to come. Thank you so much."

Coaching
"As an amateur with experience, my genealogy questions did not seem to fit classes that are commonly offered. Aimee’s coaching recharged my efforts with concrete research avenues for me to continue my family history journey."
~Brian H.
Research Project
"Aimee was wonderful; she helped me identify and connect with by biological mother after 59 years! Her knowledge and resources are amazing. I have been in regular contact with my biological mother since Aimee helped connected us and we have met in person as well. I did not really think I would find my bio mom after all the years and that we would actually meet as well, but Aimee made it happen! I could never have done it on my own!! I highly recommend Aimee’s coaching and other services. Thank you Aimee!!!

Video & Handout
(Ancestry Cards)
"We are having a family reunion in August of 2024 and your video inspired us to create cards of our own family. Since Rook has been a family favorite for generations, we made Rook cards using the four main family lines as the different suits with pictures, dates and info. My husband and I are the Rook cards (or 'Jokers' as my son calls them). We are so pleased with them and wouldn't have even attempted it without your video. Thank you so much!!!"
