How We Research — Complete Transparency

Where the Information Comes From (And What We Can't Verify)

We use five core archives: FamilySearch, U.S. Census records, border crossing documents, Church parish records, and Spanish nobility registries.

FamilySearch is the world's largest genealogy database. 100% free. Run by the LDS Church. Census records cover 1850–1950 online. Border crossings come from NARA archives at El Paso and Nogales.

What we can verify: Birth and death dates. Migration patterns. Occupations. Family structure.

What we can't: Pre-1850 genealogy gets difficult fast. Records don't exist. Or they sit in offices we can't access online. Oral family history is included as-is. We verify what we can in the archives.

You stay in control. Before we write your book, we show you everything we found. You verify it. You correct it. If something doesn't match your family's story, we change it.

Real Example — The Vázquez Legacy

From Galicia, Spain to Santa Maria, California — Bear's Family Story

This is the kind of story most families don't know they have. We found this one.
