Family Roots Revealed is located in Northern Virginia, within convenient reach of Washington, D.C., allowing for in-person visits to research repositories and cemeteries on your behalf. These services are priced based on the travel distance and overall time required, so please inquire with us about this service so we can estimate your price.

Core on-site photography services include things like:

• Visiting the National Archives in Washington, D.C. to obtain photographs or scans of records held in their repository.

• Conducting on-site visits to cemeteries in nearby areas to photograph headstones, including clearing surface dirt, leaves, and other debris so headstone carvings are as visible as possible in each photo (Note: we do not do chemical cleaning of headstones, but we will clear as much dirt and debris as we can).

What you'll receive:

• Digital Photographs — High-quality, clear, unobstructed photographs in JPG format, delivered via email.

To inquire about these services, please visit the Contact page and complete the form, providing as much information as you can to enable us to accurately estimate a price for these services. For a visit to the National Archives, we will need detailed information on your ancestor(s) such as birth and death dates, where they lived, military unit they served in, the records you are reasonably sure are housed at the National Archives, and any additional information to help ensure we pull the correct records for the right individual. For cemetery visits, we will need the name and location of the cemetery and any other information to help us find the headstones.
