Research Services

Many people want to do as much of their own genealogy research as they can, but sometimes the assistance of a professional researcher can make a significant difference. For us, no genealogical question, hunt, or objective is too small, too broad, or too complex. Some research questions can be answered quickly, with minimal time and expense. Others may prove more challenging. In either case, we can provide you with free, custom estimate to address your genealogy questions. In all our business practices, Argos Investigations adheres to the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) and the Association of Professional Genealogist’s Code of Ethics and Professional Practices.
