Disclaimer: I am currently a member of the Family Builders team.
The US Black Heritage (USBH) project on WikiTree has a program called Family Builders for Black Americans who need help building a tree from scratch or help extending a tree. Please read the information page carefully. The request form is also on the page.
Things to remember:
- This program is meant for people whose ancestors have been in the US for several generations.
- You must provide enough information for a researcher to be able to identify people in at least the 1950 US Census.
- The researcher will generally only go back to your 2nd-great-grandparents (if the information is available).
- You should create a WikiTree account before filling out the request form.
I can personally vouch for the usefulness of this program as an applicant. When I was first starting out with genealogy research back in 2021 I submitted a request to have someone help me with my tree. Ambar did an amazing job and taught me a lot of skills that I now use when working on other people’s trees.
I’ll create a post soon that goes into detail about my process when creating profiles.
