Genealogical Research & Historical Research About Your Ancestors + Spiritual Ancestral History + Optional Downloadable store Family Documents
This service is designed to provide in-depth genealogical and historical research into your family tree, regions of the world where your ancestors lived, and professional and spiritual practices they engaged in. Our researcher, Lask, is an avid student of history, and completed part of his university training in Historic Preservation, later helping with the digitization and public access of historic documents through public libraries in Virginia. For genealogical research, Lask utilizing a wide range of sources for comparing and verifying records of ancestors and information about their time/region, including:
-Census & Immigration Records
-Newspaper archives
-Property & tax records
-Court records
-Military service records
-Freedmen's Bureau Records (often helpful for African American families)
-Other scholarly journals, academic libraries/archives, etc.
While working on this service, our researcher will make an offering to honor your ancestors, and invite ancestor spirits to inform the work. When you order this reading, please provide as many of the following information points as you know and are comfortable sharing:
-Your last name/birth family name, and known immediate ancestor surnames/maiden names
-Locations where your immediate family members were born, lived, or died
-Your known cultural/ethnic background, or what you've heard through your family's oral history
-Known spiritual practices/religions within your family, patron saints or deities, etc.
-Any known military service in your family
-Any unusual diversion of branches within your family tree in terms of location or lineage-- such as adoptees, sperm donation, refugees, diaspora, long term work travel, etc.
-Any genealogical work/family trees you have already created and trust the validity of
These data points will give our researcher a starting point to do practical research to pick up the trail of your ancestors, and start putting together a cohesive picture of your family line. After gathering as much historical data as possible, Lask will consult the Akashic Records to fill in gaps around your family's spiritual history and magical talents.
NOTE WELL: This is primarily a fact-based research service, NOT a focused psychic reading. While Lask will open the space for ancestors to guide the work, and will relay any specific messages or prominent individuals that come through during the course of the work, this is not the same as doing a magical reading aimed at contacting specific ancestor spirits. Similarly, this service is offered for the purpose of academic/historical interest-- Even when you can prove genetic descent, if you have not shared equally in the good and bad aspects of the modern cultural experience of that culture/tribe/clan/etc it may not be appropriate to make public claims about your connection or practice in traditions that are considered closed by current members. Please do not use found information in ways that disrespect the experience of others.
