What Are Affiliate Links?

Some links on The Relative Detective may be affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a purchase, The Relative Detective may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Why Affiliate Links Are Used

Affiliate links may help support the cost of running this website, creating free genealogy guides, maintaining resources, and offering helpful family history content.

Genealogy Tools, Books, and Resources

Affiliate links may appear in posts, guides, resource pages, emails, or other website content that mentions genealogy tools, books, subscriptions, record websites, research supplies, software, printable products, or other helpful resources.

No Extra Cost to You

Clicking an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay. Any commission is paid by the company or seller, not added to your purchase total.

Honest Recommendations

The Relative Detective aims to share resources that may be useful for beginner-friendly genealogy research, family tree organization, record searching, and simple online research.

However, an affiliate relationship does not guarantee that a product, service, subscription, book, website, or tool will be the right fit for every person.

Third-Party Websites

Affiliate links may lead to third-party websites. The Relative Detective is not responsible for third-party website content, prices, policies, availability, subscriptions, record accuracy, shipping, customer service, or business practices.
