Every project with NEHGS Research Services starts with our Expert Assessment. Senior members of the Research Services team review your project, complete preliminary research on their own, and produce a detailed strategy to help solve your genealogical mystery.

Fill out the form on this page with information about your ancestors, the geographic area in question, and your overall goals or questions for your project. We'll assign your project to an expert at NEHGS!

In your finished assessment, you'll receive:

• A list of specific resources examined
• Copies of records discovered during the review period
• A detailed strategy for what can be accomplished with additional research-for-hire
• Suggestions for further independent research
