HOW TO USE THIS FORM

Non-Members Extended Research Service

This service is carried out by an experienced team and is available for Members and Non-Members.
Requests will be answered in order of receipt and there may be some delay. Clearly state what you wish us to investigate.
Include an Ancestry Chart (also known as a Pedigree Chart) and Family Group Sheets for those you are researching, with copies of all relevant certificates, etc. you hold.
The hourly fee includes limited copying and postal charges – email is more efficient and cost-effective.
You need to decide the number of hours of research you wish to pay for.
As it is often impossible to determine the number of hours of research required, we usually recommend two hours to start but we are happy to begin with one hour.
At the end of that time we send a report, often with digital or paper images, and advise whether more work is required.
The cost is $50.00 per hour with a minimum of one hour.

Before submitting this form, you will need to prepare an Ancestry Chart (also known as a Pedigree Chart) with a Family Group Sheet for each couple of interest.
