Family Tree Consultation

Comprehensive Review & Strategic Guidance | One Hour (Virtual)

with Alex Genealogy

Building a family tree is often the first step in genealogical research—but without professional review, even well-intentioned research can contain inaccuracies, unsupported assumptions, or structural gaps that limit progress.

The Family Tree Consultation is a one-hour virtual session designed to review the accuracy, structure, and direction of your existing family tree and provide clear, strategic guidance for next steps.

What Is a Family Tree Consultation?

A Family Tree Consultation is a professional review of the genealogical work you have already completed. Rather than starting from scratch, this service focuses on evaluating what exists, identifying issues that may impact accuracy, and ensuring your research is positioned for success.

This consultation helps prevent compounding errors and ensures that future research is built on a reliable foundation.

  • Strategic recommendations for next research steps

The consultation is interactive and focused on clarity, accuracy, and long-term research integrity.

The Family Tree Consultation is ideal for individuals who:

  • Have already begun building a family tree

  • Are unsure whether their research is accurate

Why a Professional Review Matters

Even small errors in early generations can significantly affect downstream research. Common issues include:

  • Incorrect parent-child relationships

  • Assumptions based on name similarities

  • Missing or misinterpreted records

  • Incomplete sourcing

A professional consultation helps identify these issues early, saving time, resources, and frustration.
