How it works...
1
Research Call
The process starts with a free research call (via phone or video) in which we discuss what you're hoping to find out and how I may be able to help you.
​
​

​
2
Proposal
I will put together a brief proposal in which I outline:
​
-
The expected time frame for completing the research
-
The likely cost
-
A realistic idea of what can be found and the chances of success
3
Research
I undertake the research and will keep you updated. If there are any problems or circumstances that may significantly affect the overall cost of the project I will let you know immediately. Likewise, I am always to happy you hear if you have uncovered anything that may help the search.

Findings
Following my research, I will prepare a Research Report and Family Tree (if requested). The Research Report will contain all the information and sources I have found.
Fees...
My standard fees are £40 per hour, plus expenses (agreed in advance).
​
For larger projects or those that are more open-ended (family tree building, tracing an ancestor, putting together a family report) I can tailor fees to suit.
Fees cover the cost of
-
time spent researching (at archives and online)
-
report writing
-
preparing family trees
​
Birth, marriage and death certificates from the General Records Office will be charged at cost - £12.50, £8.00 or £3.00 according to type - as will any document copying, printing or postage.
