Order Family History Packages

I am currently booked until late-January/early-February 2020, so work commissioned now will not be ready before Christmas, but please contact me if you are interested in research as a Christmas gift, as I can schedule work to start in the New Year, and offer an old-fashioned gift letter to be opened on Christmas Day itself. If you would like me to undertake research for you, please contact me to reserve your research slot.

This page is for ordering family history research packages. If you are paying for other services, like extra books, bespoke work, or upgrades please visit the payments page.

Once you have completed payment, the research forms will be posted to you to complete. Sometimes there is a waiting list to begin research, please contact me before ordering to advise. Typically research takes 6–8 weeks to complete (12 weeks for the pedigree package), once work can start on a project.

PayPal is used to process payments, but you do not need a PayPal account. When you click 'Buy Now' you will be taken to the secure PayPal website and can then select 'Check Out as Guest'.

Package Order Form

1. Select Base Package

2. Select Optional Extras

Death Records Bundle + £100: Search for and obtain copies of five documents from the end of some of your ancestors lives, for example death certificates (or copies) and wills. Includes obtaining the documents and transcribing or abstracting them for inclusion in the package book. Not all ancestors left wills, but if they did they can include their last wishes. Documents included: Wills (post 1858) or issued by the Prerogative Court of Canterbury before 1858. Death certificates (or copies) will generally include the cause of death of an ancestor.
More Research Bundle + £175: Some people like to work back further than the early 1800s. This package adds five extra hours research to the base package and includes the expenses of a visit to a repository in London or the South East of England if required (or converted to research time if not). Sometimes after completing the basic package it may become apparent that earlier research isn't possible for the particular family; in this case, this extra package will be refunded. Please a contact me for further information. No guaratee is made about what is possible in the five hours, a lot will depend on the family in question and what records have survived for the area where they were living.

Extra Copies of Book and Charts:

Cost of extra copies depends on the base package and are priced as follows: One Surname £35, Two Surname £40, Pedigree £45.

3. Select Payment Options

Payment can be made in full now or a 50% deposit with the balance due at completion, just before the package is posted.
