What it costs

Clear pricing,
billed by the job.

Almost every family begins with research — a flat fee, quoted up front, no hourly meter running. Start with one line, go as deep as you like, and when you're ready to walk the ground your people left, we credit your research toward the journey.

Line Snapshot

Find out how far your family goes — before you commit to the full dig.

$250credited 100% forward

The easiest way to begin. Give us one name and one anchoring fact — a date, a place, a parent — and we run a deep records pass on that line, then personally check every finding against the original record image. You get an honest read on how far the line can be taken, with each finding clearly labeled documented, probable, or a lead. Every dollar of the $250 is credited, in full, toward the research you choose next.

  • A deep records pass on one family line
  • Findings labeled documented / probable / lead — nothing dressed up
  • The document images we find, with sources
  • An honest verdict and your next step, in writing
  • The full $250 credited toward your research

The honest part

Your research fee isn't a sunk cost. If you decide to make the journey home, we credit 70% of what you spent on research toward your trip. Start small, see the quality of the work, and upgrade with nothing wasted.

Step two — the homecoming

The hosted journey home

One house for your whole family, up to sixteen, on the land your people left. Archives, parishes, gravestones, local historians, and the moment a record names your family aloud — in the place it happened. Priced per person, land only; the research above is credited in, and international flights are not included.

Longest days

Peak

Jun – Aug

from $6,900 / person

Per-person land package for a typical family group. Shoulder season offers the best balance of cost and weather; off-season is the quietest and most affordable. Final pricing depends on group size, length, and the lodging you choose.

All-in, what does the full experience run? Most families who go all the way — deep research plus a fully hosted family journey to the ground your people left — land between $35,000 and $60,000, depending on how deep the research goes and how many travel. We tell you where you'll fall before you commit a dollar.

Carried home

Every Heritage Buildout and Journey includes a custom family website — your documents, your tree, your photographs, your story made whole — hosted and maintained by us. The first year is included; after that it's just $19 a monthto keep your family's home on the web alive and growing. Want one on its own? A standalone family site starts at $1,500.
