GENEALOGY RESEARCH
Spanish, Cuban & U.S. family history — researched in the original records, in Spanish and English, and reported with the sources to prove it.
Spanish, Cuban & U.S. family history — researched in the original records, in Spanish and English, and reported with the sources to prove it.
I trace your family in the original records of Spain, Cuba, and the United States — parish, civil, notarial, and census records. Every conclusion comes with its sources; no guesswork dressed up as fact.
$50 — Record Lookup
One birth, marriage, or death record found in the archives and sent to you with its full source citation.
$125 — Family Line
One side of your family traced back through the records as far as they reach, delivered as a written, fully sourced report.
From $250 — Deep Roots / Brick Wall
For a line that's stuck: extended research across multiple archives, with every finding graded — proven, probable, or still an open question.
Spanish documents translated into English — birth, marriage, and death certificates, immigration and citizenship paperwork, letters and legal records. A signed certificate of accuracy is included.
From $30 per document
Handwritten Spanish records — old and modern — transcribed exactly: original spelling kept, unreadable words marked, never guessed. The skill your family’s oldest documents require.
From $25
The life of Dr. Lorenzo Galatas Ortega (1919–1973) — a Cuban physician traced from Pijirigua to Kirbyville, Texas: ship manifest, naturalization petition, obituary, and one burial question the records leave honestly open. This is the format a Family Line client receives.
Six generations of Errazti baptisms in Azpeitia, Gipuzkoa, each naming both parents — a line proven back to a 1691 marriage, and a final link to Cuba graded, openly, as a hypothesis. Proof where it exists; honesty where it doesn't.
I’m a bilingual genealogy researcher in Miami, Florida, specializing in Basque, Spanish, and Cuban ancestry. My own family’s trail runs from the Basque Country to Artemisa, Cuba, to Miami — I’ve spent years in the same parish registers, civil records, and ship lists I’ll search for you.
B.A., University of Miami · M.Div., The Master’s Seminary. Your documents stay private and are never shared.
