## Description

The Handwritten Past is a professional genealogy research service run by a brother-and-sister team based in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Fernley, Nevada. The team helps clients explore family histories, overcome research obstacles, uncover immigrant ancestors’ origins, and investigate family mysteries. Its services include research into biological family connections, particularly for adoptees and their descendants. Researchers analyze clients’ DNA data for clues to ancestry and potential relatives, with the aim of helping locate biological family members. The Handwritten Past also investigates Civil War ancestors by examining U.S. military files and preparing reports about their service. Clients can request a free price quote and contact the team through its online form or by email. Alongside its research services, the website publishes genealogy tips, stories, and advice, including guidance on historical records, family trees, DNA, and military documents. The blog also offers email subscriptions for readers who want to receive new posts and practical family-history insights.
