DiscoverURhistory is dedicated to uncovering family histories through comprehensive genealogical research. Founded by cousins Joan Betancourt and Mark Szep, the team searches through archives, libraries, and record repositories throughout the New Jersey and New York area, as well as online genealogy databases. Services include vital records research (birth, marriage, death certificates), census records, baptism certificates, adoption documents, passenger lists, naturalization records, cemetery records, wills, newspaper articles, obituaries, photographs, historical images, maps, and city directories. The company also utilizes autosomal DNA testing as part of their research methodology. DiscoverURhistory emphasizes contextualizing findings to create a fuller picture of ancestors' lives beyond dates and places.
