GenCreator Research Planner

Turn what you know about an ancestor into a prioritized, practical research plan.

Current geographic coverage

GenCreator currently supports research planning for the United States. Record availability still varies by state, county, record type, and year; coverage does not guarantee that a particular record survives or is online.

Emery County, Utah pilot: county-specific starting points are available for marriage records, land/property records, and newspapers when your location is specific enough to support that match. Other record types use broad U.S. guidance.

  • United States — partial coverage across 15 record types, with maintained knowledge spanning approximately 1775–1950.
  • Other countries and regions — not supported by the planner yet.
