Commitments to owners
The buyer is named
The publisher and the acquisition business disclose their connection. Research provided by a prospective buyer is never described as an independent appraisal.
The economics are explained
No broker commission does not mean the highest available price. Every offer states who pays closing costs and how the business expects to earn a return.
Your choice stays visible
Research, maps, and updates do not require a sale, a lease, or permission to contact relatives. Personal research is never published as a lead directory.
Offers can be checked
Initial indications and approved offers are unmistakably distinct. Offers explain what can change after title review. Response-time promises are made only once proven.
These four commitments come from a longer statement of what we are trying to build and why. Read the vision and mission.
Editorial standards and corrections
Published articles carry a named reviewer, dates, sources, and a correction path. Charts show missing periods rather than smoothing them over. Commodity benchmarks are never presented as your realized royalty price or as a valuation. Reporting delays are visible; nothing is called live unless its source is. To report an error, contact the named contact above with the page address and what you believe is wrong.
Research data
Ownership research draws on county deed and probate records, documents owners share, and public well and permit data from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection and the state geological survey. Family-history research also uses an internal reference database the business maintains, with its coverage and evidence quality reviewed before any result reaches an owner. None of these sources is a substitute for a reviewed chain of title.
