Vital record search
Targeted searches for birth, baptism, marriage, burial, and death records—including nineteenth-century documents where surviving collections allow.
Family research services
Find the records behind your family story.
RootLedger searches historical birth, marriage, and death records to help you move past missing dates, uncertain names, and stubborn family-history gaps.
A useful lead
A name, place, or approximate year can be enough to begin.
Our promise
Careful work, honest answers.
Source-led
Findings are tied to the records and repositories that support them.
Private by default
Your family details are handled discreetly and only used for your research.
No invented certainty
If a record cannot be verified, you receive a clear account of what was searched.
Research services
From one missing certificate to a fuller family line.
Each project starts with what you already know, then follows names, dates, places, relationships, and record collections methodically.
Identity and relationship checks
Cross-checking spellings, ages, locations, spouses, parents, and occupations to distinguish your relative from people with similar names.
A clear research summary
A concise explanation of findings, source references, unresolved questions, and practical next steps—so the work remains useful after the search ends.
