hey there pros. who wants a job? [View all]

so, i've made a few posts here about tracing my tree.
it's been fun and i've found a lot of info. certainly enough to apply for my irish passport, which was my alleged purpose.

so far it has been fits and starts, and mostly just what ancestry and myheritage come up with.
i'd like to take it to the next level. i dont have time.

i'd like to know more than births and deaths. i know there's info out there, but a lot of it is paywalled.
ie-i've found the last folks to come from ireland, but so far havent tripped over the 1st.
i'd like to track down some local spots, like my mom's cousin's lake house and my dad's family's hardware store.

i'm planning to go in the near future, and think i will book a 'heritage tour'. so, looking for spots.
houses arent hard, but farms and businesses would be the real jewels, i think.

i have a good size tree on myheritage, and a small 1 on ancestry. have several relatives there tho. have a bit on familysearch.
ondoutside dug up quite a bit of info for me, too.

always happy to pay for what i get.
drop me a pm if interested, please.
