Ohio Genealogical Research
Do you have distant relatives that passed through Northern Ohio?
If the answer is YES, I may be able to assist you!
As a resident of Northern Ohio, I have the privilege of residing in an area rich in culture and customs. This area is rich in INTERNATIONAL flavor. Many nationalities have passed through the area, looking for greater opportunities in occupation. Steel making, ship building, car manufacturing were the main attractions.
Over the years, I have been asked to gather pictures of headstones, locate obituaries, go to the Public Libraries, Historical Societies (in my area, see the list below), or look at U.S. Census images through my subscription to Ancestry.com. I handle the cost of the subscription so you do not have the expense. Northern Ohio Local Counties: Lucas, Ottawa, Huron, Erie, Cuyahoga, Medina & Summit.
I gather the facts and documentation on your behalf. It is up to you to piece together your family tree. If I notice something unique about what I gathered, I will not this to you. Keep in mind a 4-hour block is $100 an equivalent of or $25 per hour.
Note: A client can request a time and budget limit for any research project, doing so, client must prepay 10% of the not-to-exceed budget for any research project. Please contact me for further discussion.

Do you have the information research blues?
Not everything can be located and found on the Internet.
In most cases, project information is not available to the general public. The information can only be found on Professional online databases. These are databases where the information is “locked-down”. These databases are off-limits to the general public due to sensitive data. Let a Research & Information Specialist do the work for you!

Do you know exactly what your project entails? Do you have a fixed limited budget? The work can be completed within your budget. Contact me.
Once in contact with our client it is imperative to determine the project needs and what may or may not be available at the time the project research is completed. On occasion, a fixed price can be offered to cover your project. A lot depends on what is found and the costs of each of the online systems, or the court house records costs. Costs that I encounter while doing a project – fluctuates due situations beyond my control. I am providing you with a estimated cost presuming the project does not take me in unplanned directions.
The more detailed the research, costs can be a major concern to both the researcher and the client. For larger or extended “contingency” projects, the cost of research could be much higher. The "contingency" costs would include expenses incurred on the client’s behalf. The standard IRS mileage rate is used. Please contact me so that I can discuss your project in further detail.
If the preliminary project estimate is too small: NEPS LLC will advise the client either by way of written communication: e-mail or typed letter. The final cost is never known ahead of time.
NEPS LLC, will be in constant contact with the client throughout the project.
- A client can request a time limit for any research project, doing so, client must pre-pay 10% of the not-to-exceed budget for any research project.
