About Jeniann Nielsen

I have been actively involved in family history research for 16 years. I have owned and operated the LDSGenealogy.com website during that time, as well as spent many hours researching my own family tree.


I have helped more than 400 people with their family trees thus far, both as a paid professional genealogist and as a volunteer for the FamilySearch Library and in other capacities.


I have extensive experience with research with:


  • United States ancestors
  • Immigrants to the United States (help locating them in the home country)
  • African American ancestors
  • Ancestors that lived in England, Scotland, Denmark, Mexico, and other Latin American countries
  • Using DNA testing results to solve genealogy research problems


The brick wall case studies on this site are just a few examples of my research.

How the Research Services Work


My genealogy research services follow these steps:

  1. You gather the information about the ancestor you would like help with and evaluate what you hope to learn.
  2. You schedule a free 15-minute consultation time using the calendar on this page. You include information about your research goal for the consultation and the information you know so far.
  3. We meet for a 15-minute online Zoom meeting or phone call and discuss the information you have thus far.
  4. Based on the information you have and what information you hope to learn, I propose a number of research hours that will fit your situation. I charge $50 per hour of research. Most packages require between 2 hours ($100) and 10 hours ($500) of research.
  5. You make a payment through PayPal or credit card.
  6. I perform the research on your behalf. Most research takes 1-3 weeks to complete.
  7. Once the research has been completed, we meet again and discuss my findings over Zoom, or I write up a formal written report of my findings and submit it to you.
