We Will Document Your Home/Neighborhood/Business

We are now offering a unique and invaluable service: documenting the geography-history of your home or business. We create for you an approximately 100-page digital booklet recording information about the land on which your property sits (or sat) and the chain of owners and ownership, going back at least to the 1800s (and in some cases, the very first land patent in the 1600s). Also includes plats, maps, deeds, etc.

To create this one-of-a-kind keepsake, Irwin Berent offers his keen research skills and vast expertise. Mr. Berent is the editor and publisher of the Hampton Roads Times and the author of the 22-volume Encyclopedia of Norfolk and numerous other books as well as articles and projects on local and Civil War history. For his bio and to contact him to discuss with him your specific needs, please see his bio and contact information. Pricing for most of his work typically starts at $100-200 and depends on the complexity and difficulty of the research involved.
