 No research is considered exhaustive but will be performed to the best ability of Unearthed Genealogy LLC. There is always the possibility that more data exists that was not discovered at the time of the project. Absolute proof of genealogical relationships is usually not possible unless determined by a direct DNA match.  At times, obtaining the goal information in full may not be possible even after all resources are exhausted by Unearthed Genealogy LLC due to availability of records and contracted time limitations. I understand that the Client’s desired results may not be found within the contracted time period due to availability of records, limited DNA match results, and contracted time limitations.
