Why use a Professional Researcher?
You may consider using a professional family history researcher if:
 | 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. |
| Knowledge of Jewish records, customs, naming conventions and Hebrew
language is important for your research. |
| You wish to trace living relatives. |
| You have reached a "brick wall" with your research and are looking for
fresh ideas or alternative approaches |
