Challenge yourself on historical records, access rights, research methods, and more—now directly in the iPhone app.
GenealogyDirect
Archive records & research
Free
GenealogyDirect helps you move beyond online hints and reach the records, context, and local knowledge your family history research often needs.
Use GenealogyDirect to:
• Request copies of archive documents when records are not online
• Ask structured genealogy questions with evidence and context
• Connect with local archive specialists, experienced volunteers, and professional researchers
• Get help reading, locating, and understanding civil, parish, notarial, immigration, and historical records
• Organize the next step in your ancestor search without relying on scattered messages or informal posts
Whether you are building a family tree, tracing immigrant roots, researching ancestors abroad, or trying to solve a difficult record problem, GenealogyDirect gives your request a clear format so the right people can understand what you need.
GenealogyDirect is not a record database. It is a bridge between family historians and the human help often needed when research reaches offline archives, local languages, handwriting, or specialized sources.
