Genera Genealogical Services
Research and Pricing
Genera Genealogical Services is a professional genealogy practice based in Payson, Arizona, offering documented, source-cited research to the standards of the Genealogical Proof Standard.
What We Do
GGS specializes in American colonial ancestry (New England, Virginia, mid-Atlantic), Eastern European records (Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Ukrainian), royal descent verification and gateway ancestor screening, DNA analysis and interpretation, and surname research reports. Language skills in French, German, Ukrainian, Church Slavonic, Latin, and Russian allow us to access and interpret original records across multiple regions.
Services
Surname Report — A focused research report on a single surname: origin and meaning of the name, earliest documented occurrences, geographic distribution, major migration patterns, and key record sets. Delivered as a written, source-cited report. One research block minimum ($375).
Genealogical Research — Full research into your family lines, including record retrieval, analysis, and a professionally written report with source citations and document copies. Billed in five-hour research blocks ($375 per block). Most projects begin with one or two blocks; complex or multi-line research may require additional blocks as the work progresses.
Brick Wall Research — Targeted investigation of a specific genealogical problem: an ancestor who disappears from records, conflicting sources, unverified claims, or a line that dead-ends. One block minimum ($375).
Royal Descent and Lineage Society Screening — Evaluation of your documented tree for potential connections to royal gateway ancestors or eligibility for lineage societies (Mayflower, DAR, SAR, and others). Includes a written assessment with findings and recommended next steps.
DNA Analysis — Professional review of your DNA results to explore matches, confirm relationships, and integrate findings into your family tree.
Pricing
All research is billed at $75/hour in five-hour blocks ($375 per block). A brief initial consultation by email is free. After the consultation, research begins with a minimum of one block. You will receive a written report with full source citations at the conclusion of each block.
