Why Go With Legacy Tree
Legacy Tree has a name in the industry, and once you start your research, you’ll understand why. Here are a few reasons Legacy Tree stands out against other genealogy services out there:
- Credibility
For one thing, the feedback is incredible. Legacy Tree has positive reviews from all across the web, including Google+, Facebook, Angie’s List, and even the Better Business Bureau. When it comes to something as sensitive as your heritage, you want to know you’re dealing with a team of professionals who will take your family research seriously and handle it with the respect and care it deserves. Based on the resounding positive reviews, Legacy Tree will do just that.
- Expertise
For another thing, the team of genealogists you have working on your project is incredibly experienced. Each team member has years of experience under their belt, researching various aspects and areas within the field of genealogy. Legacy Tree makes it a point of hiring onsite researchers for more accurate and detailed reports. While the team is heavily based in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia, Legacy Tree also has onsite researchers in lesser well-researched regions like Sierra Leone, Madagascar, and Cote d'ivoire.
- Niches
What’s more, Legacy Tree hones in on specific areas of interest, employing genealogists who practice exclusively in individual areas of genealogy for more specialized results. Some of the niche areas Legacy Tree excels in include adoption, British military, family history narratives, Finland, forensic genealogy, genealogy brick walls, Mayflower Society, and more.
What’s on Offer: Genealogy Services
This service offers incredibly in-depth heritage research. How far back and how deep Legacy Tree goes depends on the plan you purchase, but the team has the tools and the know-how to go back many generations if you want it.
Legacy Tree has several research packages available, and the team specializes in creating a tailored plan to fit your exact project needs. This is a great feature because everyone’s genealogical journey is different from anyone else’s. So it just makes sense to offer a personalized research plan as well.

Pricing
Legacy Tree has 4 flat-rate plans and a custom plan that lets you choose your own elements. Depending on how deeply you want Legacy Tree to dive into your lineage, you can choose any of the 4 plans to get started. The most basic plan only goes up to 4 generations deep on a single family line. But if you already know about one side of your family or you’re particularly interested in one parent’s lineage, this can get you what you’re looking for. Alternatively, you can go for the higher-priced plans to get more details and have Legacy Tree go deeper into your heritage research. Here’s a pricing chart for the various plans available:
What it’s good for
Most projects are complete in 12-16 weeks, but you can pay to have your project expedited. Additionally, Legacy Tree offers other services, including:
- Heritage travel plan: $575, use your current genealogy information to create a travel itinerary for your ancestral hometown (homes, religious affiliations, life events, etc.)
- Mini 10: $1,150 for 1-3 generations on 1 family line and location
- Family history chart
- Family history book
- Fully translated genealogy report
Bottom Line
Legacy Tree has an excellent reputation, and it has worked hard to build (and maintain) it. Hiring serious professionals, Legacy Tree delivers superior quality research into distant family lineage. You can get every type of heritage services from this company, starting from a basic family tree and graduating up to a full-blown investigation stretching back generations. Legacy Tree also creates a private webpage for your family research, which we think is uber cool. While the price tag is steep, if you have questions and need answers, Legacy Tree is well worth the price.
