Genealogy careers & jobs for freelancers

Hello,
I'm looking for genealogy and paralegal services in Hungary .
I will need to search for old archive documents ranging from 1920 to 1960 from Hungary and then have them legalized and other paralegal services.

Thank you

I am seeking an experienced genealogy researcher to locate the death record of my ancestor, Georg Baumann, whose name may also appear as Georgius or George Baumann.

He was born in 1888 in Karavukovo, present-day Serbia. There is a possible connection to Berlin, but his place of death has not been established, so the research should not be limited to Berlin.

The goal is to locate his death certificate or death register entry (Sterbeurkunde / Sterberegister), verify his identity against the available family information, and provide a copy of the record or the precise archival reference needed to obtain it.

I will share his exact birth date, additional family details, supporting documents, and information about previous research privately with shortlisted candidates.

I am looking for a researcher with:

Experience locating historical German civil and church records

Knowledge of German archives and registry offices

Ability to read historical German handwriting

Ideally, experience researching German families from the former Yugoslavia

Please explain your relevant experience, proposed research approach, estimated timeframe, and what your fee includes. The work may require direct contact with archives rather than online searches alone.

Budget: $150, negotiable depending on the proposed scope and your experience. Any additional costs must be agreed upon in advance.

The requested deliverable is a death record supported by identifying details and a clear source reference.

Now Hiring: Acquisitions Specialist (Remote, Latin America) – Commission Only

Full-time, remote, commission only (a base pay of $5/hr is available if preferred). Year-one OTE (total pay if you hit your targets) is $45,000–$75,000+ USD, plus pending commissions on active deals.

Property Resolution Partners LLC is a niche US real estate investment company. We buy heir-owned and distressed property with title issues across North Carolina. We're hiring an Acquisitions Specialist who is hungry, an exceptional communicator in English, and confident enough in their closing ability to be paid on results. You'll be trained directly by PRP's owner.

The Role
You won't be digging for leads. Our in-house researcher and AI research tools give you a high volume of leads that are already researched, with the property, the owners, the heirs and their contact info identified. Your job is to work through those calls, connect with the right people and close. Sometimes that's one heir and sometimes several. When an heir can't be reached directly, you call family, friends, relatives and associates until you get through.

You'll also learn our title due diligence. That way you know where the information comes from, can review a research file with confidence, spot what's missing, and speak to each situation on a call. Research is a skill you'll understand, but calling and converting is the job.

What You'll Do
- Call and text heirs and owners every day from your pipeline of researched leads
- Understand each lead well enough to speak to it, then try different numbers and contacts until you reach the right person
- Build rapport with families, often in emotional situations, ask questions to understand their situation, present options, negotiate and follow up
- Take each deal from first contact to signed agreement. After signing, the PRP team handles the title work and monetizes the deal.
- Review the research for each lead, flag anything that looks off, and learn where to look in county, land, court and genealogy records
- Log every outcome and any new information in our CRM (Google Sheets and Podio), and track your daily, weekly and monthly goals

Your time breaks down roughly as 70% calls and texts, 20% follow-up, and 10% reviewing research.

What We Expect
- Month 1: learn the ropes and sign 1 deal
- Month 2: sign 2 deals
- Month 3 onward: sign 1 deal per week. This is possible because we provide a high volume of researched leads.
- Performance at the end of month 2 decides fit. Reps who aren't performing will be let go.
- At the end of month 3, we'll discuss the pay structure that makes the most sense for both sides.
- Exceptional performers will have the chance to become Head of Acquisitions as we grow

What We're Looking For
- Open to commission-only pay. Applicants who are will be prioritized.
- Fluent, natural English. You'll be speaking with US families all day.
- Required: prior outbound calling, appointment-setting or acquisitions experience for US real estate
- Strongly preferred: 2–4 years in real estate acquisitions, ideally with probate, heir or distressed sellers
- Exceptional phone and sales skills, with genuine empathy and emotional intelligence
- Comfortable making a high volume of calls every day and handling objections thoughtfully. This isn't smile-and-dial.
- Willing to learn light title research and genealogy so you understand the leads you're calling
- Organized and detail-oriented, able to manage many conversations and deals at once
- Comfortable with technology for lead management
- Coachable and self-directed, able to perform at a high level remotely with little oversight
- A reliable computer, headset and internet connection, with a quiet place to work

About Our Deals
- The average commission per deal is about $5,000 USD
- Deals take about 5 months to monetize, depending on the title issues and heirs involved

Compensation & Schedule
- Commission only: 5% of net profit on every deal you close, paid when the deal is monetized
- Base pay available: if a base works better for you, we can discuss offering $5/hour plus a lower commission. Tell us in your application.
- At the end of year 1, expect substantial pending commissions on your open deals, since some deals will still be in progress
- Full-time, remote, on US Eastern time. Minimum hours are Monday–Thursday 9 am–6 pm EST and Friday 9 am–5 pm EST

How to Apply
Type READY at the top of your application and attach your resume. In a 2 minute voice recording, tell us why you're interested in this role, why you're the right candidate, and whether you're open to commission only or would prefer the base.

We're a Canadian immigration law firm, in practice since 1976. One of our service units helps our clients claim Canadian citizenship by descent.

Since Bill C-3 took effect in December 2025, citizenship can pass through grandparents, great-grandparents and earlier generations. Many of our clients know they have a Canadian ancestor but can't name them, or don't have the records that connect each generation.

We're looking for 2 or 3 experienced genealogists to research these cases. Our lawyers handle eligibility and the application. Your job is the research.

What each case involves
- Identify the client's Canadian ancestor, starting from what the client knows (names, places, rough dates, family stories).
- Trace each generation from the client back to that ancestor.
- Locate the records that prove each link: births or baptisms, marriages, deaths, census entries and naturalizations.
- Say where certified copies can be ordered for each record, or note where none exist.
- Write a short findings report in our template, covering the lineage, the record for each generation, sources, and any gaps.

Typical cases
- Clients mostly live in the US. Ancestors were mostly born between 1850 and 1946.
- Most lines go back to Quebec, Ontario or the Maritimes, and often cross into New England.

You'll need
- Proven experience with Canadian records. Tell us which ones.
- Comfort with Quebec sources.
- The ability to read 19th and early 20th century French handwriting, for Quebec cases.
- Clear written English.
- Willingness to sign an NDA and a data agreement.

Nice to have
- APG or BCG membership, or other professional credentials.
- Experience with US vital records, especially in New England.
- Prior lineage work for citizenship or lineage-society applications.

Please note: you won't give legal advice or assess eligibility. Our lawyers review every report before anything goes to the client.

To apply, start your proposal with the word "Saint-Hyacinthe" so we know you've read this.

I was born in Chișinău, Moldova in 1997 and adopted to the U.S. in 1999. I'm looking for someone in Moldova to help me find my birth mother.

Full-Stack Developer Needed for Stellarae App Development and Website Improvements
Project Overview
We are looking for an experienced full-stack developer—or a small, highly coordinated development team—to help build Stellarae, a private family storytelling and preservation platform.
The selected developer will be responsible for developing the application while also maintaining and improving our existing website. We need someone who can evaluate the work already completed, recommend the appropriate technical architecture, and remain involved through development, testing, launch, and post-launch support.
Stellarae will allow families to privately preserve stories, photographs, voice recordings, videos, experiences, lessons, and family values across generations.
This is not a public social network. Privacy, security, ownership, permissions, and ease of use are essential parts of the product.
Primary Responsibilities
The developer will be expected to:
• Review the existing website, codebase, hosting, and technical infrastructure
• Make design, content, performance, and functionality improvements to the website
• Ensure that the website works properly on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
• Develop the Stellarae application from approved specifications and designs
• Recommend the appropriate front-end, back-end, database, hosting, and AI architecture
• Build secure user registration, authentication, and account-recovery systems
• Create private family spaces
• Allow users to invite family members
• Develop user roles, permissions, and privacy controls
• Support written stories, photographs, voice recordings, and video uploads
• Create storytelling prompts and family questions
• Organize stories into timelines, chapters, people, dates, and family relationships
• Develop keyword and intelligent search
• Build notifications and family activity features
• Integrate subscription billing and payment processing
• Develop administrative tools for authorized Stellarae personnel
• Set up analytics for registrations, invitations, contributions, retention, and subscriptions
• Conduct testing across devices and browsers
• Prepare development, staging, and production environments
• Document the application, website, infrastructure, and deployment process
• Provide post-launch support and ongoing improvements
Private AI Information Organization
The application may include a secure AI component that helps organize and retrieve users’ private family information.
Potential AI functions include:
• Transcribing voice and video recordings
• Suggesting titles and descriptions
• Categorizing stories and memories
• Identifying people, relationships, dates, places, and topics
• Connecting related family stories
• Generating relevant storytelling prompts
• Summarizing family chapters
• Providing intelligent search across a family’s private archive
• Retrieving a family member’s actual recorded or written words
The AI must not impersonate family members or invent statements attributed to them.
Applicants should explain how they would protect private user information, prevent it from being used to train public AI models, separate each family’s data, and give users control over AI processing.
Security and Privacy Requirements
The application should include:
• Encryption in transit and at rest
• Secure authentication
• Role-based access controls
• Family and item-level permissions
• Secure media storage
• Audit logging
• Reliable backups
• Tested data restoration
• User-controlled deletion
• Export of family information in commonly usable formats
• Clear separation of original content and AI-generated summaries or tags
• Appropriate privacy, consent, and data-retention controls
Security and privacy must be incorporated into the product architecture from the beginning.
Website Responsibilities
In addition to developing the application, the selected developer should be able to:
• Review and improve the existing Stellarae website
• Correct technical or display problems
• Update pages, text, images, forms, and calls to action
• Improve mobile responsiveness
• Improve page speed and technical performance
• Connect registration and beta-family forms
• Integrate email and analytics tools
• Create landing pages for marketing campaigns
• Support search-engine optimization fundamentals
• Connect the website to the application where appropriate
• Maintain consistent branding and user experience between the website and app
Please describe your experience with the website platforms and content-management systems you have used.
Preferred Qualifications
• Proven experience building and launching production consumer applications
• Strong front-end and back-end development experience
• Experience with responsive websites and content-management systems
• Experience with private user accounts and sensitive personal information
• Experience with photo, audio, video, and large-file storage
• Experience building role-based permissions
• Experience integrating secure AI, transcription, or semantic-search services
• Experience with subscriptions and payment processing
• Knowledge of databases, APIs, cloud hosting, backups, and monitoring
• Understanding of accessibility and mobile usability
• Strong security and privacy practices
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Ability to explain technical recommendations in understandable language
• Experience with family, genealogy, journaling, archival, or memory-related applications is helpful but not required
Project Structure
We expect the project to proceed in phases:
1. Review of the existing website and available product materials
2. Technical discovery and architecture recommendation
3. Confirmation of the minimum viable product
4. Website corrections and initial improvements
5. Application design and development
6. Private alpha testing
7. Closed beta testing
8. Subscription and production launch
9. Post-launch stabilization and continuing support
We prefer milestone-based development with regular demonstrations, written progress reports, code reviews, documentation, and clearly defined acceptance criteria.
Ownership and Access Requirements
Stellarae must retain ownership and administrative control of:
• All source code
• Website and application accounts
• Domains and hosting
• Databases
• Cloud infrastructure
• Application stores
• Analytics accounts
• Payment accounts
• AI integrations
• Designs and creative assets
• Documentation
• Intellectual property created under the engagement
The developer will receive the access necessary to perform the work but should not personally own any Stellarae account, domain, repository, or infrastructure.
All code should be maintained in a Stellarae-controlled source-code repository and updated regularly throughout development.
When Applying, Please Include
• Examples of applications and websites you personally developed
• Links to live projects when available
• Your specific role on each project
• Whether you are applying as an individual or a team
• Your recommended technology stack and why
• Your experience with private AI, transcription, or semantic search
• Your approach to protecting sensitive user information
• Your experience with audio, video, and photograph storage
• Your experience with subscription billing
• The website platforms you have worked with
• Your proposed development phases and schedule
• Your hourly rate or estimated fixed price by phase
• Your availability for ongoing maintenance after launch
• Any technical risks or questions you believe should be addressed before development begins
Screening Questions
1. What consumer application have you built that is most similar in complexity to Stellarae?
2. How would you structure permissions for multiple family members sharing a private family space?
3. How would you prevent private family information from being used to train a public AI model?
4. How would you store, back up, and restore photographs, audio recordings, and videos?
5. How would you connect the public website, application, subscriptions, email, and analytics?
6. How would you organize development so Stellarae retains control of its code and infrastructure?
7. What would you need from us before providing a reliable development estimate?
Please begin your proposal with the phrase “Private Family Platform” so we know you have reviewed the complete job description.

Looking to continue searching for Allen Sage’s first wife listed as “unknown native American woman” and continue on the work we were doing on finding my indigenous ancestry last autumn and winter.

About the role

We build a manufacturing platform (production orders, job cards, inventory with lot/reel traceability, incoming and in-process quality, machine data capture, costing, dispatch, subcontracting). We're deploying it at an electronics manufacturing plant — SMT, magnetics winding, assembly, conformal coating, wave soldering.

We're looking for a fractional domain expert, not a developer. Your job is to be the manufacturing authority on the team so that our module designs are right the first time, instead of us discovering gaps in the client's UAT. You'll bring the standard flows; we'll build them.

What you'll actually do

- Write and review module specifications against industry-standard flows — for roughly 30 modules across purchase, inventory, production, quality, maintenance, costing, dispatch and subcontracting
- Pressure-test our designs: tell us where a flow will break on a real shop floor, and where we've modelled something a plant will never actually do
- Advise on machine data capture — what line-level systems and machine controllers realistically expose, and what has to be captured by operator entry instead
- Define analytics and KPI semantics correctly (FPY, RTY, DPMO, yield, OEE, utilisation) so our numbers survive a customer audit
- Occasionally join client workshops as the expert voice

Must have

- Hands-on experience implementing or building MES and/or ERP for discrete manufacturing — you have been on a shop floor during a go-live, not only in requirements meetings
- Depth in at least two of: unit/lot-level traceability and genealogy · inventory with batch/serial, FIFO and shelf-life or MSD control · production orders, routings and job cards · incoming/in-process quality with inspection plans and parameters · job work/subcontracting with material issue and reconciliation · production costing
- Practical understanding of machine and line integration: what a line-level system (e.g. PanaCIM-class), an OPC-UA or IPC-CFX interface, or a vendor controller API can and cannot give you
- Ability to write a specification a developer can build from, without hand-holding
- Clear written English and 3+ hours daily overlap with IST

Genealogist — Family History Research, Ancestry & 23andMe

We are seeking an experienced genealogist to refine, complete, and expand an existing family history using Ancestry.com, 23andMe, existing family research, historical records, and DNA connections.

A substantial amount of research has already been completed. The Ancestry.com tree currently extends back to the 1600s on two family lines, with additional paternal and maternal research available for entry, verification, and expansion.

Project Scope
Review, organize, and improve the existing Ancestry.com family tree
Review 23andMe family connections and DNA matches
Cross-reference Ancestry.com, 23andMe, historical records, and existing family research
Enter completed genealogy research that has not yet been added
Refine relationships, names, dates, locations, records, and supporting information
Research missing generations, relatives, and family branches
Verify questionable, conflicting, or inaccurate historical records
Identify historical and living relatives where appropriate
Clearly document biological, adoptive, and extended family relationships
Improve source documentation and overall accuracy of the family tree
Family History

The paternal side includes significant Acadian ancestry, with family connections across Atlantic and Eastern Canada, other parts of Canada, the American Midwest, and the southern United States. The maternal side includes family history primarily in Alberta and British Columbia, with earlier family connections to Eastern Canada.

The research is more complex because:

Our mother was adopted
A sister was placed for adoption
Biological and adoptive family lines need to be distinguished
Some historical records are incomplete or inconsistent with known family history
DNA matches may help confirm or identify family relationships
Both Acadian biological ancestry and adoptive family ancestry need to be properly documented
Existing Research
Ancestry.com tree already established and connected back to the 1600s on two sides
23andMe account and DNA family connections available for research
Paternal family genealogy substantially researched and available for entry and refinement
Maternal family history partially researched and available for review and expansion
Existing records, notes, family information, and ancestry connections will be provided
Ideal Candidate
Experienced with Ancestry.com and 23andMe
Strong genealogical and family-history research skills
Experience interpreting DNA matches and family connections
Comfortable researching Canadian and U.S. historical records
Experience with Acadian genealogy is an asset
Experience with adoption, biological-family research, and complex family relationships
Able to assess conflicting records and determine the most reliable information
Organized, accurate, and detail-oriented

Project Goals
Create a complete, accurate, and well-organized family history that brings together Ancestry.com, 23andMe, existing research, historical documentation, and DNA connections. The final tree should clearly document biological and adoptive family lines, resolve gaps and inconsistencies where possible, expand known family connections, and provide a reliable family history for future generations. This is a part-time project with a fixed budget. The scope may expand depending on research findings and the quality of available records.

I am looking for an experienced organic social media marketer to promote two books through Facebook groups and Instagram, with no paid advertising.
For my Africa safari book, I already belong to 86 carefully selected Facebook groups related to African safaris, wildlife, travel and Africa. These groups have already been used and primed for book promotion. I have had some success posting to them myself, but it is very time-consuming.
I need someone who can create more effective and engaging posts, then gradually post them across these existing groups without spamming or putting my Facebook account at risk. I would also like you to find and join approximately 20 new highly relevant groups at a time.
My second book is a family history involving Eastern European immigration from Galicia to North America and eventually Canadian railways. For this book, I want to develop relevant groups around Galicia, Eastern European immigration, genealogy, family history, Canadian history and railways.
I am looking for someone who can do more than simply copy and paste advertisements. I want creative posts that tell interesting pieces of the stories, use photographs where appropriate, and encourage people to buy the books on Amazon.
Approximately 5 hours per week to start. No bots, automated mass posting or paid ads. The objective is actual book sales, not simply likes, followers or impressions.

I want two things from one researcher: my complete family tree on both sides, with a profile of every person, living or deceased; and a sourced verdict on whether my paternal line descends from a Neapolitan family of the same surname whose coat of arms is on record (Cimino / Cimmino, Marchesi di Casolla Valenzano, in Spreti's Enciclopedia storico-nobiliare italiana, volume two). You start from a dossier with every source and document I hold. The end products are a finished family tree and a defensible coat of arms: inherited if the link is proven, differenced or newly designed if it is not.

PART A. FULL FAMILY TREE, BOTH SIDES, WITH PROFILES
Build the complete tree on my father's side and my mother's side, as far back as records allow and forward to the living generations. Father's side: the Cimmino and Perrotta lines of Frattaminore (province of Naples) and the Lupoli and Roseto lines of the same town. Mother's side: the DeLucia line of Rochester, New York and Hartford, Connecticut, with its Amato and De Fusco ancestry (Teano, province of Caserta) already documented by my citizenship lawyers, and the Conway line of my maternal grandmother.
For every person a short profile: full name and variants; dates and places of birth, marriage and death; living or deceased; occupation or occupations; military or religious service; where they lived and when they moved between Italy, the United States and Mexico; and for the living, where they are now and what they do. Sources: civil and parish records, emigration and naturalisation files, censuses, obituaries and memorial cards, cemetery records, public directories, and interviews with relatives I will introduce you to. Details of living people come only from public sources and from the family itself, with their consent; nothing is to be scraped from social media without it.

PART B. THE ARMIGEROUS FAMILY QUESTION
What is already done:
- The arms are identified and rendered to the recorded blazon. No heraldic drawing is needed.
- Civil extracts in hand from the Comune di Frattaminore: birth of the grandfather (born 1939, parents Luigi Cimmino and Carmela Perrotta), birth of the grandmother (born 1940), their marriage (1961).
- Memorial cards with exact dates for Luigi Cimmino (born 1909, died 1976) and Carmela Perrotta (born 1907, died 1973), parish of San Maurizio, Frattaminore.
- Family tradition: Luigi was born in the United States in 1909 to Simeone Cimmino, an emigrant from Frattaminore, and returned to Italy at seven.
- A request for the Luigi and Carmela marriage act is already with the comune.
- Target family: Cimino of Naples, in Taranto in the fifteenth century, nobility recognised in 1585, marquisate granted in 1788 on the fief of Casolla Valenzano (Caivano, five kilometres from Frattaminore), main line reported extinct in the twentieth century.
Scope:
1. Civil records from 1809 to about 1910: Frattaminore and neighbouring comuni (Frattamaggiore, Caivano, Cardito, Crispano, Grumo Nevano), on the Italian state archives' online civil registers and at the Archivio di Stato di Napoli. Every act cited by year, number and image.
2. United States, roughly 1900 to 1916: Simeone Cimmino's arrival manifest, the 1910 census, Luigi's 1909 birth record and the family's return, from the usual US immigration and census sources.
3. Parish records before 1809: San Maurizio in Frattaminore, the parishes of Caivano, or the diocesan archive of Aversa.
4. The target family: reconstruct the Cimino di Casolla Valenzano genealogy including cadet branches from Spreti, the Neapolitan nobility lists and the Archivio di Stato di Napoli (Cedolari, Quinternioni, Regia Camera della Sommaria), so a join can be tested rather than guessed.
5. Verdict: a written report with a sourced lineage chart and one of three conclusions, proven, disproven or inconclusive, with what would be needed to go further.
6. Heraldic opinion: a short note, from you or a named colleague qualified in Italian heraldry, on how the arms should be borne under each outcome: undifferenced if proven; with a specified brisure, or a new coat, if not.

DELIVERABLES
- Full family tree, both sides (PDF chart and GEDCOM), with a one-paragraph profile per person and a living or deceased flag.
- Lineage chart from me back to the earliest documented Cimmino ancestor, as the spine of the tree.
- Every record as a scan with full archival citation, in one folder.
- Research log of what was searched, where, and with what result, including negative searches.
- Final report with the verdict and the heraldic opinion, in English (Italian also welcome).
- A short walkthrough of the findings through Upwork messages.

WHO I AM LOOKING FOR
- Professional genealogist with hands-on experience in Campania civil and parish records, ideally based in or near Naples or with a trusted local researcher for the Aversa diocesan archive and the Archivio di Stato; and able to work US records (New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts) for the American branches.
- Comfortable with eighteenth and nineteenth century Italian and Latin hands.
- Experience with Neapolitan nobiliary sources (Spreti, Candida Gonzaga, Aldimari, Consulta Araldica files) or a partner who has it.
- Professional genealogy association membership is a plus; examples of similar lineage cases are required.
- Honest about uncertainty. I would rather have inconclusive with a clear log than a flattering guess.

BUDGET AND TIMELINE
- No budget is set on purpose. Quote phase one as a fixed price and say exactly what it covers.
- Phase one (civil records, US records, the Luigi and Carmela marriage, and a first pass of the tree on both sides from the records already in hand): three to four weeks.
- Phase two (the full tree with profiles and living generations, parish records, and the target family): quoted after phase one, go or no-go on my side.
- State your phase or hourly rate, archive fees passed through at cost, and turnaround.

IN YOUR PROPOSAL
Include one previous Campania or southern-Italy lineage case with how you cited sources, one example of a family tree with person profiles you have delivered, and your view in three sentences on how you would test a join to a Neapolitan family whose main line is extinct.

I have a documented family line from Mexico City back to Frattaminore (province of Naples) in the late nineteenth century, and a recorded coat of arms for a Neapolitan family of the same surname (Cimino / Cimmino, Marchesi di Casolla Valenzano, in Spreti's Enciclopedia storico-nobiliare italiana, volume two). I need a professional to take the line back through civil and parish records and give a written, sourced verdict: descent proven, disproven, or inconclusive. You start from a dossier with every source and document I hold. The end product is a defensible coat of arms: inherited if the link is proven, differenced or newly designed if it is not.

WHAT IS ALREADY DONE
- The arms are identified and rendered to the recorded blazon. No heraldic drawing is needed.
- Civil extracts in hand from the Comune di Frattaminore: birth of the grandfather (born 1939, parents Luigi Cimmino and Carmela Perrotta), birth of the grandmother (born 1940), their marriage (1961).
- Memorial cards with exact dates for Luigi Cimmino (born 1909, died 1976) and Carmela Perrotta (born 1907, died 1973), parish of San Maurizio, Frattaminore.
- Family tradition: Luigi was born in the United States in 1909 to Simeone Cimmino, an emigrant from Frattaminore, and returned to Italy at seven.
- A request for the Luigi and Carmela marriage act is already with the comune.
- Target family: Cimino of Naples, in Taranto in the fifteenth century, nobility recognised in 1585, marquisate granted in 1788 on the fief of Casolla Valenzano (Caivano, five kilometres from Frattaminore), main line reported extinct in the twentieth century.

SCOPE
1. Civil records from 1809 to about 1910: Frattaminore and neighbouring comuni (Frattamaggiore, Caivano, Cardito, Crispano, Grumo Nevano), on the Italian state archives' online civil registers and at the Archivio di Stato di Napoli. Every act cited by year, number and image.
2. United States, roughly 1900 to 1916: Simeone Cimmino's arrival manifest, the 1910 census, Luigi's 1909 birth record and the family's return, from the usual US immigration and census sources.
3. Parish records before 1809: San Maurizio in Frattaminore, the parishes of Caivano, or the diocesan archive of Aversa.
4. The target family: reconstruct the Cimino di Casolla Valenzano genealogy including cadet branches from Spreti, the Neapolitan nobility lists and the Archivio di Stato di Napoli (Cedolari, Quinternioni, Regia Camera della Sommaria), so a join can be tested rather than guessed.
5. Verdict: a written report with a sourced lineage chart and one of three conclusions, proven, disproven or inconclusive, with what would be needed to go further.
6. Heraldic opinion: a short note, from you or a named colleague qualified in Italian heraldry, on how the arms should be borne under each outcome: undifferenced if proven; with a specified brisure, or a new coat, if not.

DELIVERABLES
- Lineage chart (PDF and GEDCOM) from the client back to the earliest documented ancestor.
- Every record as a scan with full archival citation, in one folder.
- Research log of what was searched, where, and with what result, including negative searches.
- Final report with verdict and heraldic opinion, in English (Italian also welcome).
- A short walkthrough of the findings through Upwork messages.

WHO I AM LOOKING FOR
- Professional genealogist with hands-on experience in Campania civil and parish records, ideally based in or near Naples or with a trusted local researcher for the Aversa diocesan archive and the Archivio di Stato.
- Comfortable with eighteenth and nineteenth century Italian and Latin hands.
- Experience with Neapolitan nobiliary sources (Spreti, Candida Gonzaga, Aldimari, Consulta Araldica files) or a partner who has it.
- Professional genealogy association membership is a plus; examples of similar lineage cases are required.
- Honest about uncertainty. I would rather have inconclusive with a clear log than a flattering guess.

BUDGET AND TIMELINE
- Phase one (civil records, US records, the Luigi and Carmela marriage): fixed price, three to four weeks. The budget shown is for this phase; quote it.
- Phase two (parish records and the target family): quoted after phase one, go or no-go on my side.
- State your phase or hourly rate, archive fees passed through at cost, and turnaround.

IN YOUR PROPOSAL
Include one previous Campania or southern-Italy lineage case with how you cited sources, and your view in three sentences on how you would test a join to a Neapolitan family whose main line is extinct.

I’m looking for a genealogy researcher to help trace the life history of several deceased relatives. The work includes researching marriages, residences, and public records to fill out my family tree. I need someone who can organize findings clearly and provide reliable sources for each entry. This is a part-time project with room for ongoing collaboration as I continue to expand my family history.

We are looking for an experienced Real Estate Research Virtual Assistant who understands U.S. real estate investing and public-record research.
THIS IS NOT A COLD-CALLING OR APPOINTMENT-SETTING POSITION.

In 1883, the railroad community of Platte Summit, Colorado was renamed in honor of a railroad engineer. After almost 150 years no one seemed to know his full name or much about him. Who was he, and why was his name given to a community, a reservoir, and eventually a Colorado State Park?

We're a land acquisition company working with rural and agricultural landowners across the U.S. We source owner names, mailing addresses, and parcel data from public county records. What we don't have — and what we need you to find — is a correct, verified phone number and email address for the owner.

Important context: we already run batch enrichment and phone verification through commercial platforms, and those platforms have already been run on these records. The names we're handing you are the ones automation could not resolve. This is manual, case-by-case research, not bulk list building. If your process is "upload the file, export the results," this isn't the right fit.

Typical reasons a record lands on this list:

Property held by an LLC, trust, estate, or family partnership with no obvious natural person behind it
Owner is deceased and the heirs haven't been identified
Owner is absentee, living in a different state from the parcel
Common name with no distinguishing data
Rural mailing address (PO box, rural route) that breaks standard matching

What you'll do

Work an assigned batch of owner records and find a correct phone number and email address for each
Verify both — a number that rings the right person and an address that accepts mail. Unverified guesses are worse than a blank cell
Trace entity ownership back to individuals — Secretary of State filings, registered agent records, annual reports, assumed name filings
Identify heirs and successors on deceased-owner records using obituaries, probate filings, and public genealogy sources
Confirm you've found the right person, not someone with the same name — we care more about accuracy than volume
Return a clean spreadsheet in our format, including a confidence rating and the source for every contact you find
Flag records that are genuinely unresolvable rather than guessing; a documented "not found" is more useful to us than a wrong number

What we're looking for

Demonstrable experience finding contacts for property owners, estates, or business entities — please describe actual examples
Working familiarity with U.S. public records: county assessor and recorder sites, Secretary of State business registries, probate dockets, voter files where publicly accessible
Comfort with entity resolution — matching an LLC to its members, a trust to its trustee
Methods for verifying both phones and emails, not just finding them
Strong written English and careful documentation habits
Access to your own research tools is a plus; tell us what you use and how you pay for it

Compliance — please read

All research must use publicly available or lawfully licensed sources. We do not permit pretexting, impersonation, or contacting third parties under false pretenses to obtain information. We don't accept data from scraped or resold sources of unknown provenance. Every contact you deliver must have a source we can point to. This is non-negotiable and we verify it.

How we work

We start everyone with a small paid test batch of 25 records so we can both see whether it's a fit. The engagement converts to fixed price per batch after the trial period, once you've both established a baseline. If it works, this becomes ongoing recurring work with steady batch volume. You'll work from a shared spreadsheet template; we're available for questions but expect you to be self-directed
Long-term relationship preferred — our best team members stay on for years

To apply

Skip the cover letter template. Answer these five questions instead:

Walk us through how you'd find a phone number for the owner of a 640-acre parcel in rural Oklahoma titled to "Hendricks Family Trust," with a mailing address in Dallas and no other information.
What tools and databases do you use, and which one do you reach for first?
How do you verify that a phone number belongs to the specific person you're looking for — and how do you verify an email address is live?
Roughly what percentage hit rate do you expect on records that automated enrichment has already failed on? We're looking for a realistic answer.
Start your reply with this: name a county you've researched and what you thought of its recorder website.

We are a Dutch Data & AI consultancy building a reusable Operational Intelligence Suite for manufacturing, wholesale and supply-chain companies.

We are looking for a strong frontend/product engineer who can turn complex operational processes and data into visually impressive, highly interactive software experiences.
- Interactive warehouse maps
- Order control towers
- Supplier risk views
- Production flow visualizations
- Inventory optimization interfaces
- Traceability and product genealogy views
- Operational exception and action screens

Our products cover the operational chain:
Supplier - Purchase Order - Inventory - Warehouse - Production - Sales Order - Shipment - Customer

The goal is not to create traditional dashboards. We want to build reusable operational software products that help users quickly understand what is happening, why it matters and what action they should take.

The first assignment will be to design and build one concrete prototype together with our team.
If the collaboration works well, we want to continue building a reusable library of products, components and visualization patterns.

We are looking for someone with strong experience in:
- JavaScript / TypeScript, HTML and CSS
- Modern frontend development
- SVG, Canvas, D3.js, ECharts, PixiJS or similar
- Building polished B2B web applications
- Strong UX/UI and visual design judgement
- Working with APIs and data-driven applications
- Reusable component and product architecture
- Supply chain, warehouse, manufacturing, inventory, planning or logistics processes
- AI-assisted development using tools such as Claude Code, Codex or similar

What matters most is that you can combine software engineering, visual design and operational understanding.

We want someone who can look at a complex supply-chain process and think:
How can we make this immediately understandable, interactive and visually impressive?
We work iteratively: understand the business problem, prototype quickly, test with users and improve. We expect you to challenge us on UX and visualization choices, not just implement predefined screens.

When applying, please include:
- 2-3 examples of interactive applications or visualizations you personally built
- Preferably examples involving supply chain, warehouse, manufacturing, logistics or other operational processes
- A short explanation of how you would approach an Interactive Warehouse Map showing stock, empty locations, stock ageing, movements and operational bottlenecks

The goal is not another dashboard. We want to build operational software that companies immediately want to use.

We are looking for an experienced consultant to design and build knowledge graphs for two
research-focused projects involving complex historical, academic, and biographical data.

The role requires both strong graph/ontology expertise and the ability to model uncertain,
conflicting, and interpretive source material.

Objectives
● Review representative source material, datasets, and research questions.
● Design an appropriate ontology, graph schema, and overall data model.
● Recommend the most suitable technical approach, including Neo4j/property graphs, RDF/OWL/SPARQL, hybrid architecture, or another justified solution.
● Model evidence and provenance so that source claims, recorded facts, later interpretations, inferred relationships, and analytical conclusions are clearly
distinguished.
● Handle entity resolution, variant names, uncertain dates, conflicting sources, ambiguous
identities, and inferred relationships.
● Build a pilot knowledge graph using a representative subset of the available material.
● Model academic and intellectual relationships, including publications, talks, students,
collaborators, citations, and influence.
● Conduct relevant network analysis, such as centrality, clusters, bridge relationships,
temporal networks, multi-hop analysis, and recurring patterns.
● Recommend how the graph should be expanded and maintained at scale.

Requirements
● Strong practical experience with knowledge graphs, ontologies, or graph databases.
● Experience with Neo4j/Cypher, RDF/OWL/SPARQL, or comparable technologies.
● Strong understanding of entity resolution, provenance, uncertainty, and complex
relationship modelling.
● Experience with graph or network analysis.
● Ability to translate research questions into a robust data model and analytical approach.

Preferred
● Experience with digital humanities, computational history, bibliometrics, archival
research, genealogy, or similar research-intensive work.
● Experience with citation, scholarly, social, or temporal network analysis.
● Experience working with incomplete, contradictory, or interpretive source material.

When Applying
Please provide examples of relevant knowledge graph or network-analysis projects. Briefly
explain your role, the technology used, and the nature of the data.

Preference will be given to applicants who provide directly comparable examples, schemas,
diagrams, publications, repositories, or other evidence of relevant work.

Any attempt to contact us outside of Upwork,
including by email, phone, or LinkedIn, will result in immediate rejection and may be reported
through the platform.

Looking for a genealogist who is fluent in either Greek or Turkish (ideally both) to help with some research into family history.

Bonus points if you have an understanding to the family tree building app called Roots Magic (v11)

I'm building a genealogy service that translates old German church records for family historians, and I'm looking for reliable Kurrent readers for ongoing paid work. This is a small paid trial.

The task (3 parts):

1. Transcribe and translate two short 18th-century German church entries (a marriage and a baptism, each only a few lines). For each, provide:
- a German transcription, marking uncertain words with (?) and unreadable words with [?]
- an English translation
- the key facts: names, dates, places, relationships, occupations

2. Review an AI-generated transcription of one of the records. Correct any errors you find and briefly note what was wrong.

3. Tell me:
- how long each part took you
- your rate for ongoing work (per record, or per hour)
- your usual turnaround time and time zone

Important: please do NOT use AI tools (ChatGPT, Transkribus, etc.) for parts 1 and 2. I'm specifically testing human reading skill.

If the trial goes well, I expect steady volume of short records, mostly reviewing and correcting AI drafts, which should take 5-10 minutes each.

Please mention in your proposal your experience reading Kurrent and any genealogy work you've done.
