I'm going to go out on a limb here and say if you're subscribed to my blog or found my site, you probably have at least a little interest in family history. And with that said, you've probably got a brick wall or two keeping you from progressing in your research on certain branches.
Well, around here we try to make researching family history as easy as possible. I've shared loads of resources and tools on my site over the years, but there are just some genealogical mysteries that are too tough to solve and require help - and that's how Genealogy Helpers was born.
Hiring professionals is always a good option, but Genealogy Helpers is a platform for posting your cases in hopes that someone somewhere can and will help. The professionals can sign up to solve your cases, too!
Here's the twist. It's free! You can send a tip as small or large as you like to whoever solves your case or cases - if they provide links in their profile (CashApp, PayPal, BuyMeACoffee, Venmo, Apple Pay, or Chime), but tips are optional and charging a fee is against the rules. There is no obligation or commitment to pay or tip people who solve cases.
If you've solved all your own family mysteries, but love a good challenge, and don't mind helping people, and possibly earning a little extra cash, scroll through the case files and see if you can help anyone. There is a Leaderboard where people who solve cases are recognized. Users receive one point for each case solved. You could be on top!
You can find Genealogy Helpers by clicking Helpers from the main menu, or just click the icon below. Share it with your genealogy friends!
Note: Browsing cases doesn't require logging in but in order to create a case or solve a case, you will need to create an account on the platfrom. It's not the same account as your mygenealogyaddiction.com account, so you will need to create a username and password specifically for Genealogy Helpers, if you'd like to participate and we hope you will!
