What the payment covers

Six things land at once, all inside the $39.

  • 01

    The interactive report

    Every plate the record supports — origin, etymology, migration atlas, timeline, density, variants and namesakes.

  • 02

    The print-quality PDF

    Typeset for paper at full plate size, ready to print or archive. No watermark, no expiry.

  • 03

    The one-page summary plate

    The best findings on a single sheet, laid out to be framed and hung rather than filed away.

  • 04

    The share pack

    A studio inside your report that builds image and short-video posts from your own facts, at every main platform size, captioned and branded.

  • 05

    A confidence tag on every claim

    Confident, Probable, Contested or Quiet — with the citations that earned the tag.

  • 06

    Honest gaps, by design

    Where the sources stop, the report says so in a designed block rather than padding the page.

  • 07

    Permanent access

    The report you paid for stays in your account, re-openable and re-downloadable.

What you are not paying for

The price is the whole price.

  • —No subscription, no renewal, no trial that quietly converts
  • —No per-download or per-export fee — the PDF is yours at purchase
  • —No paywalled second half of the report
  • —No DNA kit, no shipping, no lab wait

Fair-record policy

If the record cannot carry a report, you should not be charged for one.

Every surname is checked against the sources before the full research runs. If the finished report cannot support three confident, cited sections, you are offered the choice of a full refund or half back with the report kept — no ticket, no argument. Where a single section runs out, the report shows a quiet block instead of guesswork.

Surname history research, not personal genealogy.

Pricing questions

Before you pay.

  • Why per surname rather than a monthly plan?+

    A surname is researched once. Charging monthly for a finished document would be renting you something you already own — so we don't.

  • What if my name turns out to be poorly documented?+

    If the research cannot support at least three confident, cited sections, we tell you and you choose: a full refund with seven days of access to the partial findings, or half back and keep the report permanently. Choose nothing within seven days and we apply the half refund for you.

  • Is a gift more expensive?+

    No. Buying a name for someone else costs the same $39: tick "this is a gift" at checkout, add their email and a note, and the reveal is held until they open their link. Your receipt stays with you.

  • I have a code — where does it go?+

    There is a code field at checkout. If your code covers the full amount, no payment details are requested at all.
