About Me

Andre Bagley, AG® - President & Research Director, ICAPGen™ Accredited Genealogist®

I'm Andre Bagley, AG®, an Accredited Genealogist credentialed through ICAPGen (specializing in Swedish research) and a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists. My core specialties are Scandinavia, the British Isles, and the United States, including DNA integration.

I spent nearly eight years as Clerical Director at Price Genealogy, where I worked on projects for clients ranging from everyday families to public figures. Find My Family LLC grew out of side projects I took on during that time—with my employer's blessing—and eventually became a business of its own through referrals and repeat clients.

This is a solo practice. When you hire me, you work with me—not a sales representative who hands your case to someone you'll never meet. I handle strategy, research, communication, and quality control directly. If your project requires expertise outside my specialties, I coordinate with colleagues I trust and remain your point of contact throughout.

I believe genealogy works best when the person who understands your goals is also the one doing the research. That's what I offer.

My Process

I work with intentionally limited capacity, typically booking about 90 days out. This keeps my attention on a manageable number of clients rather than maximizing volume.

Standard turnaround is 90 days. You'll receive updates roughly every two weeks so you're not left wondering what's happening.

1. Planning

Before research begins, we define a specific, realistic goal together. I review any prior research you have—there's no sense paying me to rediscover what's already documented. I identify relevant finding aids, indexes, and databases upfront so the active research phase is as efficient as possible.

2. Research

Your definition of success drives the project. If your case requires expertise outside my specialties, I bring in a specialist I trust for that specific problem—not whoever happens to be available. I stay involved as your point of contact and ensure expectations are aligned.

3. Review

I evaluate all work before presenting it to you, including anything produced by a specialist. You receive polished findings, not raw notes that need interpretation.

4. Deliverables

You decide the format: online tree updates, a private database, a written report, or something else. I won't produce materials you don't want, though I do recommend a written summary for future reference.

5. Follow-Up

I aim for your complete satisfaction. If something needs addressing, I want to know.
