Choose your level of support
The country guides, the data pages and the eligibility quiz are free and stay free. When you're ready to actually execute, the paid guide is the part the free pages can't give you — the offices, the letters, and the order to do it all in.
The execution guide for your country
The offices that actually decide your case, what they charge, how long they take, ready-to-send letters in the right language, and the order to do everything in. Delivered as a PDF to your inbox the moment you pay — no account to create.
More countries are being added. Don't see yours? Ask us and we'll prioritize it.
The country guide
$149
one-time- The deciding offices for your case — address, email, real turnaround and fees
- Ready-to-send request letters in the right language
- The precise order of operations, and what blocks what
- Which archive holds which record, by date — and what to do when it was destroyed
- The known ways these cases break — and how to avoid them
If anything in the guide looks wrong for your line, or your case has a shape the guide doesn't cover, book a call with us and we'll work through it. You shouldn't be stuck with a document that doesn't fit your family.

Don't know enough yet?
Don't know your ancestor's town, which country you'd be claiming through, or whether you qualify? We research it, tell you exactly where you stand — and once we know your eligible country, we include its full execution guide, so you go from zero information to a step-by-step plan in one purchase.
Ancestor Records Trace
$349
one-time- Search of digitised archives for your ancestor: immigration and ship manifests, census records, naturalization indexes, and origin-country civil/church records where available
- Identification of the ancestor's town or parish of origin where the records support it
- Census-based bracketing of the naturalization window (the citizenship column narrows the date range that decides most cases)
- A written report: what we found, what it implies for your eligibility, and what remains unknown
- The full execution guide for your eligible country, included at no extra cost where we've published one (Poland and Italy today) — the offices, letters and sequencing, a $149 value on its own
- The exact next records to order — which office, which form, what it costs, how long it takes
- Delivered within 5 business days
- If the research can't identify an eligible country, the $149 guide-value portion is refundable on request — see the Refund Policy for the full terms
- We do not file USCIS FOIA/genealogy requests or order certificates on your behalf — the report tells you precisely which to request and how.
- A trace cannot prove an ancestor never naturalized. Absence from the online indexes is not proof of absence; only a USCIS or NARA certificate of non-existence establishes that. Where your case turns on it, we say so and tell you exactly what to file.
- If your eligible country doesn't have a published guide yet, you still get the full research report — we'll follow up once that country's guide is ready.
Ideal for: You don't know your ancestor's town, which country you'd be claiming through, or whether the chain is intact — this finds all three and hands you the plan to execute it, so there's nothing left to guess at.
Not a live checkout — we review your details and follow up within 1–2 business days
