Genearcs

GENEARCS is a professional genealogy and paleography service based in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. It helps individuals explore their family origins through tailored research, guidance and historical document work. Services include advice on genealogical research and the search for and transcription of civil records, parish registers and notarial documents. GENEARCS can create personalized family trees, tracing ancestors across multiple generations or following descendants from a chosen ancestor, and can produce a book about a family’s history.
