/ Research Fees

Fixed scope, written findings.

Other questions require the expertise gained during thousands of hours of resesarch. Perhaps the record you're seeking hasn't been indexed, is in antiquated language or unintelligable handwriting, or doesn't make sense without context.

My experience with these records allows me to pick out your ancestor's name, identify the circumstances, and provide a citation.

Some research questions have quick answers — when the records you are seeking have been scanned and indexed, you can rely on my familiarity with the right databases and how to search them.

My research will be thorough
as well as prompt.
