I have been doing genealogy research since 1995. I have learned much about genealogy research and a variety of record types from doing research on my own family as well as from helping friends and family research their families.. I am not an expert in all areas, but am a genealogy buff. I have access to ancestry.com world version and findmypast world version. My goal is to help others discover more of their family history. Rates:
$20.00 an hour, charged in 15 minute increments. Included in fee: Research done using services I am subscribed to and local resources, plus an emailed report and digital copies of any documents found.
10¢ a page, plus cost of postage, for paper copy of report and/or documents.
$8.75 per film if I need to rent a microfilm from the Family History Center. I will let you know before I request any films to get your approval.
$20 per hour for travel time if I have to travel more than 15 miles.
$20.00 per hour for private lessons on how to do genealogy research. We will meet in a public place that has internet service. I will walk you through the basics of doing your family tree. Before I start any work, we will contract for the number of hours I will work and exactly what research I will be doing, it will also include any required traveling. I will also include a date of when I will complete your research. This contract is so you will know how much the project will cost, and I will know how many hours maximum I should work on your project. A deposit of 50% of the contracted fees will be required before I start any work. Payment may be made by money order or by Paypal. Cash is also an option if we meet in person, but please DO NOT mail cash. Keep in mind, some things are relatively easy to find, others are more difficult. Unfortunately, there are some things that are just not possible to find. No matter what the results are, you will receive a report detailing what records I searched and what I found. Even if I don’t find what you are hoping I will find, you are responsible for paying the agreed upon fees. Resources I have available:
