Common genealogy questions resolved on JustAnswer
Genealogy is the second most popular hobby in the U.S. after gardening, according to ABC News, and the second most visited category of websites.
Genealogists usually suggest starting a genealogy search by asking questions of all living relatives, and writing down everything anyone knows, including names, dates, locations, and events.
However, even experienced genealogy researchers often run into problems. Tracing female relatives is most difficult because of changed last names, and other common problems included altered name spellings and lost records.
Any time you run into a genealogy roadblock, it’s a simple matter to contact a verified genealogy Expert on JustAnswer. You can reach out from any spot where you have an Internet connection, at any time day or night.
You can even ask follow-up questions, and approve payment only when you’re completely satisfied.

Fast answers to your genealogy questions
The genealogy Experts on JustAnswer.com have handled hundreds of different questions, such as:
- My great-great-grandmother was a Jewish woman from Turkey. Her surname was Dragoon. Do you know anything about this name?
- I'm doing some research for possible dual Italian-American citizenship and I could use some help locating my grandmother’s birth record from Italy.
- Through my genealogy research I found a long lost cousin and we're meeting up soon. Our fathers were first cousins as their mothers were sisters. What exactly does that make us in genealogy terms?
- I’m having a difficult time finding information earlier than 1847 on my great-great grandfather.
- I have a letter dated 1935 from an English lawyer with an office in Paris, written on behalf of my English grandfather. The letter is the last known trace of him and I’m trying to find out what happened to him. I am sure the law office is long ago closed.
When you reach out to a genealogy Expert on JustAnswer, be prepared to explain exactly which details you’re trying to find, the names of the people you’re researching, and where you’ve already looked. This will help the Expert untangle your family tree as promptly as possible.
