Métis, French-Canadian & Québec Ancestry Reports

---

Tracing French-Canadian, Acadian, Métis, or early Voyageur roots often becomes complex as family lines cross borders into Western Canada, New England, or Western states. I provide exhaustive, dual-lineage research tracing both sides of your family tree to produce custom, narrative-driven Ancestry Reports backed by complete primary-source documentation. 

Standard institutional genealogy packages are built for high-volume processing. They often restrict research to basic names and dates on a single branch, withhold source lists, charge extra for document scans, and cap research at 15 generations. My independent practice is built around depth, historical transparency, and complete evidence.

• Complete Source Transparency: Every vital statistic, census entry, land grant, and parish record includes full scholarly citations following the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS). You will know the exact archive, reel, and page for every fact.
• Primary Source Documents Included: Unlike high-volume services that charge extra per document scan, high-resolution digital copies of key historical records (parish registers, Métis scrip files, land titles, census sheets) are attached directly to your report at no additional cost.
• Rich Biographical Narratives: Your report includes historical background, biographical notes, and anecdotal context where records exist, bringing your ancestors' world to life beyond simple lists of dates.
• Deep Dual-Lineage Tracing: Research is not restricted to a single paternal line or capped arbitrarily. I trace maternal and paternal lines equally, going as far as 20+ generations into early European lineages where verified primary evidence exists.
• Targeted "Brick Wall" Solutions: Specialized investigation is available for complex border-crossing mysteries, unindexed records, or specific single-ancestor questions that institutional templates explicitly refuse to handle.
• Client & Starting-Point Flexibility: Research can begin at any generational point using public domain records, local histories, and community sources without rigid photo ID mandates for deceased relatives.

Your report is delivered as an executive, presentation-ready digital file designed for family preservation or printing. It includes a comprehensive narrative history of your family's journey from early New France, Québec, or Acadia through the Fur Trade and Western settlement. Every report contains complete, professional source citations, attached high-resolution primary record scans, and historical archival photographs or land maps whenever available. 

Please note that certain political or administrative bodies require citizenship applicants to order genealogical information directly through their mandated institutional partner. As an independent, professional archival researcher, I am not affiliated with or governed by any single organization. My practice is designed for clients who want unfiltered access to their complete family history, full primary-source documents, and verifiable historical evidence.

• For Administrative Citizenship Cards: If your sole goal is an administrative card, you must submit your request directly to that organization’s mandated institutional queue.
• For Historical Clarity & Actual Records: If your goal is exhaustive research, solving family mysteries, or possessing the actual primary historical proof in your hands, I locate and analyze the underlying evidence free from institutional templates, document withholding, or single-line restrictions.

• Initial File Review: Submit your known family information, ancestral details, and specific research goals.
• Custom Proposal: Receive a clear project scope, estimated turnaround time, and flat-fee quote based on the complexity of your tree.
• Archival Research & Extraction: Direct primary record retrieval across physical and digital Western Canadian repositories, including parish registers, Hudson's Bay Company Archives (HBCA), and land registries.
• Report Delivery: Receive your complete Ancestry Report along with all cited high-resolution primary document scans.
