RESEARCH SERVICES:
​

​Genealogical Research includes:
  • an initial consultation to determine a focused research goal.
  • development of a custom research plan for your genealogical project
  • goal oriented research and analysis of the results
After research and analysis, I will provide:
  • a comprehensive report with source citations
  • copies of relevant documents found (ex. marriage/death/birth records, census images, etc)​
Please note that sometimes records can not be found due to record holdings having been destroyed, a loss due to age, or the records may have never existed.  For this reason, results cannot necessarily be guaranteed.  However, research will be conducted diligently and you will be provided a list of all resources searched as well as the results.

Research Fees:
​

  • Current hourly rate is $35 for genealogical and historical research and includes consultations, research, analysis of information or documents collected and the preparation of research reports.
  • Additional expenses not included in the above stated rate may include but are not limited to, copies, document retrieval, microfilm rental, postage, repository access, parking, and travel.  Mileage over 50 miles is charged at the current government allowable rate per mile. 
  • We recommend ten (10) hours to get started for most of the services we provide.  A 50% retainer is required and is based on the agreed upon time limit: for example, a ten hour project at $35 an hour ($350) will require a $175deposit.
