A Resource for Researchers, By Researchers
Whether you're a seasoned genealogist or a dedicated family historian, this report is designed to save you time. We have compiled the primary sources, transcriptions, and citations for the requested ancestor into a single, organized packet—so you don't have to go back to the archives and start from scratch.
Think of it as a research shortcut: all the heavy lifting on this one ancestor has been done. You are free to verify our work, incorporate it into your larger project, or hand it directly to a client as part of their lineage proof package. However you use it, the goal is the same: less time on foundational research, more time on the story.
For Genealogists: A Foundation You Can Build On
You know the drill: a new client comes to you needing proof for a St. John line. Before you can advise them on their application, you have to spend hours pulling wills, deciphering visitations, and sourcing citations. Let us handle that groundwork.
Our Generational Lineage Proofs (GLPs) deliver fully sourced, GPS-compliant reports for key St. John ancestors. Use them as a reliable foundation for your client work—saving you research time and allowing you to focus on the higher-level analysis, writing, and strategy that your clients value most.
