Genalogical/Document Researcher

Job Title:
Genealogical/Document Researcher – Citizenship by Descent for Canada
Job Description:

I am seeking an experienced genealogical/document researcher to locate, request, and assemble official government records to support a citizenship application by descent for Canada. I currently do not have any of the relevant documents in my possession, so the role involves retrieving verified records from U.S. and Canadian sources.

Responsibilities:
Identify which vital records (birth, marriage, death, baptism, census, immigration/naturalization) are required to establish lineage.
Request and obtain official copies from relevant U.S. state/county offices and Canadian provincial archives.
Ensure all documents meet official standards for citizenship applications (apostilles, certified copies, or official transcripts where needed).
Track and organize documents in a clear chain of lineage for submission.
Provide guidance on document translations if required.
Maintain strict confidentiality and accuracy.

Requirements:
Proven experience in genealogical research or ancestry document retrieval.
Familiarity with U.S. and Canadian vital records systems.
Experience obtaining documents for citizenship or immigration applications.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
Ability to communicate progress and sources clearly.

Deliverables:
Full package of official government documents linking me to my ancestors for citizenship purposes.
Clear list of sources, retrieval steps, and any additional documentation required.
Guidance on next steps for application submission.

Budget: Flexible — please provide an estimate based on experience.
Timeline: Preferably within 12 weeks, but open to proposals.

Notes:
Serious inquiries only.
Must respect privacy and confidentiality of personal/family information.

Thank you!
