Please click on the links opposite for more information about each family tree package.

All we need from you to begin your project is any relevant information regarding each surname to be researched including a full name, date of birth or marriage and location for one of your ancestors. Ideally this would be a grandparent, but dont worry too much if your information is limited, a rough estimate might be enough.

If you wish to purchase any of our packages after your preliminary search has been conducted you will be required to pay 50% of the fee in advance. The remaining 50% is payable on completion. You can be assured of receiving a dedicated and accurate service and you will be kept regularly informed of the progress. Original sources will be used to prove your ancestry and you will receive the original copies with your final report. Where it is not possible to include original sources due to copyright, you will receive a transcript. If your research can not be continued as far as originally anticipated which can sometimes happen due to immigration, emigration or illegitimacy for example, then you will only be charged for the work carried out - this is one of the reasons why we don’t ask for full payment upfront.

Research Commisioned by the Hour

Alternatively you may wish for research to be under taken by the hour at a rate of £10 per hour for a minimum of two hours. If you commission us to under take your family research in this way you may choose which – if any – official birth or marriage certificates you wish to purchase. We will always provide you with a reference to enable you to order the certificates direct from the General Register Office at a later date, or we can order them for you if you wish.

Optional Extras

Search for Death Certificates

Death certificates are very rarely relevant when it comes to tracing back your family tree. However if you would like to know dates or the circumstances in which your ancestors died, we can provide this service as an optional extra.

Death searches = £5 per ancestor or £40 per tree. If you require a copy of the Certificate these can be purchased seperatly.

Probate & Wills

We can also undertake research relating to Probate Records and Wills. Please e-mail for further information.
