Hi all. Does anyone know how much approx it would cost for a genealogist to look into Joseph? I can’t leave that part of my family blank. Thank you.
What makes you think a hired genealogist will locate the missing birth record when you do not know with any certainty the name of his parents? A registered birth in the approximate year and to the parental names he gives, does not exist on the public record .
Team members here at Rootschat have applied their skill voluntarily to a thorough exploration of existing records and other closely linked records too.
You have no certainty that anything he stated on his certificates was true and he may have had reason to deceive.
OR
The birth was simply not registered.
There is many a family tree which contain a
part of family blank where there is no located information and this is preferable to ascribing something that "is likely" or "possibly" or "based on family stories"
I know nothing about the commission rates of professional genealogist, so no help there.
