Why hire a professional genealogist?
With so many popular genealogy websites out there, many folks are undertaking genealogy research themselves. So why would someone consider the help of a professional?
Time: simply put, proper genealogy research (following GPS guidelines) takes time. A professional genealogist will know the most time- and cost-efficient way to research your family, using both online and offline resources that they have access to.
Language barriers: not knowing the native language of a research country can be a barrier for many searchers. Hiring a genealogist that reads and speaks the language, and is familiar with various genealogy documents of that country, can greatly speed up results and tear down those brick walls.
Expertise: as professional genealogists can tell you, it takes time and many years of practice to become a skilled researcher. If you're new to genealogy, or simply want to validate the research you've done so far, a genealogist can help. No one wants to climb a branch for years only to find out it's the wrong one!
