Individually-tailored Research
We also offer research tailored to specific needs. This will be charged at a rate of £20 per hour (for a minimum of 2
hours) + costs.
In addition, if you are interested in any of our specialist areas, we can give you a fixed price before embarking on
the research. Our specialist areas are as follows:
- London Ancestors
- Problem Solving (family trees)
- British Families in India
- Research
- We provide research for:
· Family History & Genealogy
· Ancestry Search
· Social History
· Local History
· Family Health History
- NB: not all records have survived; and many ancestors, homes, and people go unrecorded.
We search records that are available in London and (for an extra cost) throughout England to help you find your ancestors. For some parts of the country we use local researchers for no extra cost.
Please note, we will only undertake research that we believe has a reasonable chance of success.
We do not believe in wasting a client's money.
Our experience with records and archives gives us an insight into which records are likely to be most useful to your interests.
Tell us what you know.
When you contact us, please tell us what research has been done already.
We will then ask you to check what you and your family know. How big is your family tree?
By then, we will have the beginnings of a history.
From there, we will begin the research.
Consultation
We will consult you before undertaking each new search.
We will plan the research together so that you understand what is available and what you are paying for.
It is important that clients feel in control of the research.
When the research is completed, we will give you ideas for further research.
