The important info before you make decisions
Pricing
The work I undertake comes with a capped fee, ensuring you won’t face any unexpected costs from additional working hours. The project scope is entirely up to you; I can research one or multiple branches, and either compile them into a comprehensive booklet or present them separately according to your preference.
You can choose your format:
– Physical, printed booklet*
– PDF file
*incurs a nominal cost to cover printing/binding
Additional costs can be incurred if you choose from the following options*:
– Ordering of birth/marriage/death certificates
– A Google Maps file of locations unearthed in my research
– Some overseas records
– Some war based records
– Translations (e.g. Latin, foreign language records)
– DNA tests
– DNA analysis
– Ancient heritage analysis
– *Other possible fees relating to obtaining records
I will never initiate work that incurs additional fees without your explicit consent; so there will be no unforeseen costs. Projects are priced as bespoke packages – please contact me for a quote.
Accessibility
I am neurodivergent, and so I’m firmly committed to inclusion and making family history accessible. I have in the past produced a family tree designed for braille, developed digital documents with large print, and can produce documents in simple English upon request at no extra cost.
Your Project
‘Branch’, ‘line’, or ‘surname’ refers to family history traced from one individual. I will investigate as far back as possible, covering births, deaths, marriages, children, and relevant census data, including available photographs where possible. If I can’t trace a branch fully, I will instead provide a more in depth search of recent individuals. If research isn’t feasible, a refund will be issued (minus a small administrative fee).
In order to locate living relatives, their data can only be shared with your explicit permission, ensuring confidentiality for both parties, as guided by ethical principles. Bona Vacantia searches are not conducted.
While I do not hold formal genealogical qualifications, I bring years of hands-on experience, a meticulous approach to research, and a deep passion for uncovering family histories. My service is personal, affordable and efficient, providing well-researched insights into your family tree.
