You may consider using a professional family history researcher such as myself if:
| Knowledge of Jewish records, customs, naming conventions and Hebrew language is important for your research | |
| You do not have the time available to undertake the research yourself | |
| A personal visit to the libraries and archives that need searching is not practical (often due to distance or time constraints) | |
| Detailed knowledge of the geographical location, local history, and appropriate records and resources is needed | |
| You have reached a "brick wall" with your research and are looking for fresh ideas or alternative approaches |
