saying about our genealogists and unique family tree research services.

Did you know that millions of genealogy records are NOT available on the Internet? 

Many people are unaware that many important records which are crucial to their family tree search cannot be
 found online. Many Washington County records, for example, are only available to researchers who physically
visit  repositories at the local level in Rhode Island, at the federal level in Washington, D.C., or at the LDS Family
History
Library in Utah, and are not readily available on the internet. Our genealogy researchers have access
 to all of these records and are ready to
 assist you with your genealogy search
 in Rhode Island.
 
  So, if you have limited your past
 research to exhaustive internet searches at
Ancestry.com, Rootsweb, and other online databases and web sites, you may have
 reached a brick wall because you're missing
 out on the literal gold mine of records available
 on microfilm, in books, and in other published works at libraries, archives, and other records repositories. Many genealogical records such
 as family wills, court records, obituaries, death certificates, military records, and land deeds are not available online and can only be obtained by mailing research
 requests to places like local public libraries or cemeteries, or by visiting the LDS Family History Library in Utah.
 These records are critical to any comprehensive ancestry search and should not be overlooked if high quality
 and thorough research results are to be achieved during your project. For these and other reasons, it's
 sometimes a great idea to hire a professional genealogist to assist you with your genealogy search.

 Because of the time and expense involved in doing your
 own research, it is often a great help to enlist the services
 of a professional genealogist who can undertake this hard
 work on your behalf, saving you hundreds of hours of time
 and money in the process. We know where to go to get the
  records you're looking for, we have people on the ground in
the places of interest to you, we get fantastic results for our
