There are different levels of research that may be undertaken. You can choose how little or how much research you wish us to cover. At each stage you will be informed exactly how the research is progressing and you can then decide whether to continue to the next level or not. From the outset you can say what your financial limit is, and we will work within those constraints.

Why not have the results of your package made into a bound book?

Making a very special heirloom.

An Exploratory Search Ł40

This is less time consuming and would only cover the post 1855 period of statutory civil registration and the censuses.

A Standard Search
Ł160

This is a report that would cover research into one line including a step-by-step account of the entire investigation with all information extracted from certificates, census returns and Old Parish Registers (pre 1855) with their relevant reference numbers.

Consisting of a professional report sent to you in a wallet with a family tree chart, and would include suggestions for further avenues of investigation.

Comprehensive Search Ł295

This is similar to the standard search except that other lines will also be pursued e.g. paternal and maternal lines, or searches for siblings.

Deluxe Search
Ł475

This is the ultimate search which includes all of the above and is enhanced with additional material e.g. copies of old OS maps, Statistical Accounts of the relevant areas, photographs of gravestones, and if appropriate additional information to give an historical framework to the family being researched.

The above costs are only a guideline. There is a daily rate for local research of Ł80 and research in Edinburgh or Glasgow costs Ł125 per day. Each package can be customised to suit individual requirements.

A deposit of Ł40 is payable before starting the research, this covers the cost of an initial exploratory search, which should establish whether information is available to allow further research to commence.

It is also possible to pay for work using PayPal. Please enquire.
