Helping You Find Your Past

It is an undeniable fact that family history has taken on a life of it's own over the past ten years. Compass Rose Genealogy is here to help you in your journey through this frequently overwhelming world of documents, tables and maps. You tell us what you need, and we will be there for you.

We currently offer:

• On-the-Ground Research Services in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
  What that means: You won't have to buy a plane ticket to visit a grave-site,  locate an ancestral home, or explore the streets your family once walked, because we can do that for you. We can also access non-digitized documents, images, maps, books and other physical content held at local archives and libraries.*
  
  
• Digital Research Services:
  What that means: We have access to a vast array of genealogical resources that can help you knock down all brick walls you've encountered in your research. Our genealogical training through Boston University, and our experience with historical research at the University of British Columbia, has enabled us to access and utilize lesser known repositories -  helping us "see beyond" the skeletons in your closet, thus uncovering the every-day people hidden beneath the bones of births, marriages, and deaths.
