Family History Consulting
At Insights2, our Family History Consulting service blends genealogical research and archival investigation with historical analysis and storytelling to create a comprehensive narrative of familial roots and milestones within a larger historical context. Family History Consulting aims to uncover the rich tapestry of a family's past, tracing lineage and stories back through generations and across continents.
Our Family History Consultant works closely with you to establish what you already know about your past, as well as determine what you hope to discover and learn from this process. Then, an examination is made of publicly available primary source documents such as birth, marriage, and death records, census data, immigration records, wills, property deeds, military service records, and other historical resources such as newspapers, books, articles, and maps. Our Family History Consultant collaborates with archival experts, researchers, and translators around the world to source these invaluable elements that bring a family’s historical narrative to life.
Once the family history data is established, our Family History Consultant curates, interprets, and contextualizes the information unearthed. A customized narrative is created that sheds light on significant events, cultural influences, and the societal roles played by your ancestors. This narrative and all supporting documents are shared during a family meeting, to inspire rich discussions about important elements of your family history. You also receive all historical records as a keepsake for your family.
At Insights2, Family History Consulting offers families a unique opportunity to preserve, celebrate, and pass on their rich cultural heritage, fostering a sense of continuity, values alignment, pride, and connectivity that transcends time and generations. Many families experience Family History Consulting as important to reinforcing family cohesiveness and creating a sense of shared purpose and meaning.
