 Since 1995, TIMELINES Genealogical Research has been working hard to provide their clients with accurate family history research. Requests for genealogical research have been satisfied with full documentation whenever possible.
The experience gleaned during these years has resulted in a methodology that allows us to work with each person, creating a customized project plan that fits their needs.
We take time to listen and have developed a practical system that works.
Not everyone has done, or wants to do their family history. However, most families do have very special family memories that they value and want to preserve in one form or another. Every request is a custom project; no two are ever the same.
In so doing, we have expanded and moved our location to accommodate this growth of our company. We invite you to drop by and visit or give us a call with your questions, we look forward to it.
