1. How do I commission you to do some research work for me?

 Please contact me via e-mail or post at the address on my contact page to discuss your requirements. Please note that I may not be able to start on your research project right away - if there is likely to be any delay I will advise you. 

 

2. How long does the research take?

 As each family story is unique, it is very difficult to give an accurate estimate of how long the research will take - or indeed what I might find! Unfortunately the TV genealogy programmes make the process look much faster than it is in real life. Although computers have speeded up many aspects of family history research, it takes time to obtain certificates and other documents, visit archives, search through parish records, newspaper reports and other sources. Obviously I will aim to complete your research as soon as practically possible.

 

3. How much will it cost?

 Please see the 'Fees and Costs' page for my current charges. I require a small deposit to be paid before I undertake any work for you.

 

4. What information do need from me?

It would be extremely helpful if you supply me with as much information as possible about your family and copies of any relevant documents that you might have (e.g certificates). You may have a family bible where it was traditional to write down details of family baptisms, marriages and deaths - a copy of this information could be useful too. Also you may know what religion your ancestors were - this could help speed up the research and help to reduce the costs to you.

 

5. What information will I receive at the end of my commission?

Depending on what research services you request from me, I would normally provide you with a written report, and copies of any relevants certificates and other documentation.

 

6. Do you undertake research into living relatives or adoptees? 

Sorry, my expertise is as a historical researcher and therefore I am unable offer a service for tracing living relatives or adoptees. There are other companies and organisations that can offer professional services for this type of research.
