A Genealogical Deep Dive into the Family Skeletons from Family Tree Miner. Value: $700. Ever wonder what kind of trouble your ancestors got themselves into? Now's your chance to find out. This auction item is for one investigative genealogy experience that dives into one ancestor of the winning bidder, focusing particularly on the scandalous, bizarre, questionable, and downright entertaining aspects. Maybe they ran away to join the circus? Murder-suicide? A colorful history of traffic violations? Burned down the house of a scorned lover? That last one is actually in my own family tree, so let's not rule anything out.

What you'll get: A professionally compiled PDF research report, complete with original records, newspaper clippings, photographs, court and civil documents, sources, and whatever other evidence I can dig up. 

The fine print (because even history has its limits)

- Best suited to US-based ancestors dating from 1850 and on. 

- No living relatives can be researched. 

- Includes up to 10 hours of research and report preparation.

- If the first ancestor turns out to be frustratingly well-behaved, or impossible to find, I'll try one other ancestor of your choosing. If no scandalous behavior surfaces, you'll still get a fascinating genealogy report filled with all the ordinary details that I could find. 

- No guarantees of murder, mayhem, or circus involvement. Just a sincere commitment to finding out what your family might have preferred to keep quiet.

- Bonus! The final PDF report is artistically done and in full-color, making it very giftable when printed.

A note on timing: Genealogy is not an exact science, and government archives aren't particularly speedy either. Some records require special requests to out-of-state repositories, courthouses, and archives. I'll follow the paper trail wherever it leads, but delivery timing will depend on what I find and how quickly the records arrive.

5 Hours of Design Time, from Emily Tucker Design. Valued at $1875. Receive expert advice and ideas on making your space a special place. https://www.etuckerdesign.com/ From Emily Tucker Design's website: Your home is a reflection of you- a compilation of everything you have seen and done.

One of the greatest joys of my work is creating spaces for people to live their lives; A backdrop for all the great moments that make up a life, and at the heart of Emily Tucker Design, that is what we do. We create, and curate spaces for people and families to live in. One of the best parts of this work is getting to know our clients, and partnering with them long-term; whether the project is a second home, a larger space to accommodate a growing family, or updates as tastes change.

I thrive working in a variety of styles and pay attention to the principles of scale, color, and pattern when designing spaces. Our team meets clients where they are in the process and offer a variety of services from ground-up construction, interior decoration, and renovations. We believe the pursuit of a designer is to take the personality of both the client and their home, filter that through our design lens, and ultimately create spaces that are perfectly suited to the people that inhabit them.
