Have you ever wondered about the ancestral origin of your family? Are you searching for verified records that indicate the work of your grandparents?

These are only some of the questions and goals that you can have a professional genealogist practicing in New York City like the team from Dancestors Genealogy can help you with.
Outside the fact-finding research, researchers of our Genealogy New York City will organize and curate the information, archives, and DNA data (if available) gathered to create a final output: the Narrative Family Legacy book, a physical copy showcasing your created family’s story which can be enjoyed by generations to come.
As a results-oriented genealogy research and archival firm serving the entire New York City area, we at Dancestors Genealogy have developed a methodical approach to our genealogy process. We have outlined our methodical genealogy research steps below and we encourage you to get in touch with our family history researchers if you have any questions.
We provide a free and no obligation in-depth conversation to discuss and set realistic goals, expectations, budget, timeframe, and other considerations for the genealogy research project. Our New York City genealogy experts have the skills and experience to create a custom-tailored genealogy plan based on what we learned from our consultation meeting.
Our seasoned genealogists will conduct a full fact-finding family history research encompassing New York City and wherever it is you are from in order to utilize ancestry and genealogy birth, marriage, death, census, and military records as well as letters, certificates, photographs, magazine and newspaper clippings, and other documents. Lastly, as we flesh out tree data, we also begin building the narrative/story document.
This phase involves collating all the existing data, records, and different types of archives that our clients have provided. Our professional genealogy researchers in New York City will also conduct a set of interviews with our clients’ willing relatives to find clues for the research and even aid in building the family tree.
The final output of the comprehensive genealogy New York City research conducted can be fully appreciated through the Narrative Family Legacy Book, which our New York City genealogists have developed specifically for you. The user-friendly and well thought of book will include the sources used for information, printouts of historical records, family charts and graphs, and more.
I wanted to give my mother something special for her 95th birthday. Dancestors worked with me to tell the story of mother’s life and her ancestry through narrative and pictures. It was a bonus when he found overseas information about her families origins in Eastern Europe.

I was a little concerned when I engaged someone to do the book that lived halfway across the country. That turned out not to be a concern as through email and phone we communicated more effectively with my busy schedule than in person meetings would have allowed. I’d grown up hearing great stories about my family, but they were all disconnected and not well documented. Dancestors researched my mother’s line first and gathered some great stories, including trips across America by wagon train, ancestors who found religions and a long line of English folks.

This past year I engaged Dancestors to work on my parent’s family. There had always been scattered pieces of the family tree, but nothing had ever been pulled together in a format that not only made a prized gift but had some great stories that were in danger of being lost forever. This next year Dancestors will be working on my wife’s family.

Hi, my name is Nicky. What I was looking for was a way to provide a great gift for my family, but also a way in which we could add pictures and stories as the family grew and as younger generations became interested in “where we came from?”. I grew up thinking my surname was German. Through Dancestors' research, I found out that my surname and roots were English and not German. Dancestors delivered exactly what I was looking for: the bound books and the online access for future additions.

Dan and Andrea, I saw Mom yesterday for the first time in a couple of weeks. She told me how much she loved having Dad's letter in the books; how she could pick them up at odd times of the day and how she had difficulty putting them down; and lastly how they almost always brought tears to her eyes. You should be proud of your efforts and work! What a wonderful Gift! Thank You!

Accumulating a growing number of 8.8 million residents within a land area of just over 300 square miles, New York City remains as the largest city in the United States. It is home to five boroughs, namely Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. All of which has distinct flavors and subcultures, making New York City the best example of cultural and ethnic diversity in the country.
Given the sheer volume of residents and tremendous cultural diversity in NYC, tracing someone’s family tree can be incredibly challenging for the unprofessional and untrained genealogist. We at Dancestors Genealogy are ready to step up to the plate and deliver superior quality genealogy research and family archival services.

Here at Dancestors Genealogy, our New York City genealogists are sincere about helping individuals and families have a clearer picture of their ancestral history. Our passion can be seen in every phase of our genealogy consultative services in New York City, i.e. organization of family archives, DNA research, and ancestry research. Outside of data gathering, our clients were able to use the information retrieved to trace the history of their family’s health conditions, claim government benefits, settle disputes over land ownership, connect with distant relatives, and more. We have helped hundreds of clients organize family records and photos so they can be passed on to future generations.
The passion to help our clients and give above and beyond level of quality service in our New York City genealogical services stems from the influence of Dancestors Genealogy Founder Dan Nelson.
