The larger family genealogy research sites won't be able to help with those difficult-to-find relatives. You need personal service and high-end expertise. That's where we can help. Wisely has vast experience and top-notch credentials to find what you're looking for. We are active members in numerous midwest genealogical socities spanning from Kansas to Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin and even North Carolina. We also have longstanding membership in and contacts with national organizations such as the Association of Professional Genealogists and the National Genological Society.

Of course, we specialize in the hard-to-uncover cases and take pride in getting to know you and your families needs. Please let us know if we can serve you and your family.


Looking for historic site records? We focus on local archives.
