Door 2 · For the family researcher
Anyone can find a record. The Research Room is what happens after: every record you save becomes a question for the interview, a line on the timeline, and a footnoted chapter in the book. We don't out-database the big genealogy sites — we beat them on what happens after the record.
Every record you save, kept with where it came from — so anyone in the family can check it, and nothing rests on a memory of a search.
Lay the evidence for a relationship side by side and see what actually proves it — and what's still a guess.
See where your people lived, moved, and are buried, on the family's own map.
Bring your tree in and take it back out. Your research is yours; it is never locked in here.
Follow the hints from your tree into the archives, in the order a researcher would work them.
Start at the state, then go to the county — the courthouse is where deeds, probate, and marriages actually live.
Proven research flows straight into the Life Story: records become interview questions, answers become chapters.
The Research Room is your Family Room plus the research layer — the stories, photos, and people all live in the same private room.
$250 a year
Research Membership is your Family Room ($199 value) plus the research layer. Your first year includes one Life Story credit — the interview that turns your proven research into a finished book in their own voice.
Purchasing is paused while Hold Us Together moves to its new home, so there is nothing to buy on this page today. If you would like to be reached when Research Membership opens, ask us a question and mention the Research Room — or start with one story, free.
