Sourcery for Genealogists

Genealogical research is very rewarding but can be challenging to collect your sources. Meet Sourcery, your new favorite tool to retrieve your hard-to-access documents and uncover your family’s history! 

Sourcery can help you with multiple steps in your genealogical research: 

• Access unique sources, particularly those housed in distant repositories with limited reading room hours. Instead of having to travel, you can place a Sourcery request to have a local archive user create scans for you.  

• View the original document. Transcripts or translations may be available, but people make mistakes. Sometimes double-checking the original can lead to new information, or perhaps even lead to reading your ancestor’s original handwriting! 

• Vital records, property records, military records, and other documents available to the public can be requested through Sourcery. 

Sourcery helps you collect crucial materials to open new research paths or confirm family stories. Sourcery is your best tool for simple document retrieval tasks when you know exactly what you need scanned and where it is. When you need a more in-depth analysis, research conducted at an archive, or professional wall breaking, we suggest getting in contact with a professional genealogist.
