Why
Hire a Professional?
Why
does anyone hire anyone?
Daily you pay fees for services you don't do
yourself. Doctors, lawyers, mechanics, plumbers, builders,
utilities, etc.
People hire professional genealogy research
companies for the same reasons they hire other professionals; time, tools,
skills, training, certifications, standards, knowledge, experience, and
problem solving.

Q1. I don't have the time?
Don't have the time.
Between work, family, church, and other committments; their isn't any extra
time right now. The choice is to either postpone doing something, try
to cram something else into the schedule or switch priorities somehow,
sometime. Or you may share/split time or do something for awhile and
switch.
Answer. Hiring Forgenerations frees
you from doing that. Most of our clients are professionals (Doctors,
Lawyers, CPA, Corporate Executives) who have heavy work, church leadership,
and community assignments.
Don't want to make it a priority.
Family History is still important to you and you feel guilty not doing it
but it's not your top priority.
Answer. Hiring Forgenerations frees
you from doing that.
Not the best use of my time. You
make more money an hour doing what you do best. Not spending your
time trying to learn and do something you either don't have the present
skills for or its less expensive or makes more sense to have someone else
do it for you.
Most of our clients are professionals like
yourself (Doctors, Lawyers, CPA, Corporate Executives, Politicians, Church
and Religious Leaders, etc.) who have heavy work, church leadership, and
community assignments.
Q2. I don't enjoy research,
I'm not a researcher?
There's nothing wrong with that. We
each have different talents and abilities. Things that drive us or we are
passionate about. Maybe research isn't your thing. So stop
feeling guilty about it. Other things aren't your thing and you hire
people to do them. This shouldn't be any different. Yes, you can
or might want to learn the basics but leave the detail and work to the
professionals at Forgenerations. They'll do a better job and do it in
less time.
Q3. It isn't getting done
fast enough?
If your time is limited how much progress
are you really making? How much progress are you or your family
association really making? Do you want to share the information with your
family and friends while your living. Do you want to avoid having
others waiting for ordinance work to be done? Do you want the joy of
sharing these experiences with your family now rather than later or
never? Do you want to gather the information now or wait til the
people who could give you the information are no longer around or able to
remember or help?
We have clients who we have worked with that we
solved a problem they'd been working on for 20 or 32 years in one
project. Others who did one project a year that now do multiples.
Other clients who have gotten as much done in two years as the last
twenty, and they don't have another 20 years. Go to family reunions
and nothing new. If this sounds familiar we can help.
Q4. I'm fed up with getting
the wrong information?
It's common knowledge that hobbyists make more
mistakes than professionals. They duplicate bad information. Copy it
wrong or not enough. Make links to family that really aren't the right
family or person. Lots of duplication. Change spellings on names
to what they think it should be. Change information on dates or places to
what they think it should be. The list can go on and on. Lots of
mistakes. It's even gotten worse with the internet. Lots of bad
or incorrect information floating around. You want it done
right. You want it done correct. Forgenerations is here to
help. Experience and proper procedures and standards do make the
difference. Call us and find out why.
Q5. I want it done right?
You want it done right. The first
time. Not over and over again. Procedures, thorough, detailed,
documented. Quality. It's what you deserve and Forgenerations
will provide for you.
Q6. What are some of the
different parts of research you provide?
- Research involves correspondence with clients
and various sources of family private and public information.
Repositories of information including relatives or other individuals or
places that might have research. The number of potential sources
is extensive. It involves locating them, corresponding,
documenting, verification, analysis, and reporting. Based on the
information provided or received the order and the quantity of time in
each of these areas varies. For example: New startup projects with
lots of information require more documentation, verification and
reporting. Also which potential sources are checked and the time
in each will very.
- Research involves planning, determining the best
and most logical sources of information, and then implementing the
action plan. Based on the results positive or negative; the action
plans are adjusted or modified continually for further action.
- Temple clearance, printouts, cards and
submissions.
- Donations or submissions of research to
organizations for tax and sharing purposes for current and future
generations or distant relatives.
Q7. I feel guilty not doing it myself?
Do you feel guilty not repairing your car, or
fixing you plumbing, or home schooling your children? You can't do it
all. Look at all the things you hire others to do.
If it helps. You can collect or assist in
collecting information, including getting information from other family
members. Perform family ordinances. Schedule family get
togethers or reunions to share information and more. Take pictures and
make scrapbooks. No one and no where does it say you have to do it
all.
For LDS Clients it is important to realize that
many research clients are leaders in local wards, stakes, national and
international leaders who recognize the value and use of research services.

services?

history research needs. Products and services focus on organizing client information, computer entry, data cleanup, ancestry, family history, family pedigree, family

and services?
