My experience was very similar to other reviews. I paid $2,500 and waited for months for the research to begin. I only wanted confirmation on a 4th great grandfather and his father. I have done extensive research on my own. The only additional information from what I had found on my own were some land records. After paying the money and waiting for months, I found these reviews. (sadly!). But it did cause me to stay on them and when they started looking at other people in my tree, I called them on it. They did stop and refund me $1,000. I do have a professional opinion in writing. I will find out if it's enough to be approved at DAR for membership under my 5th great grandfather. My report has a name that is not in my tree. I have called them 3 times asking about it, I think it's probably a typo. No response whatsoever. A very negative experience. Keep your money.
In summary, I would not recommend Pro Genealogists to a friend.
