Generations (70 Hours) Cost $3500 plus expenses
For those who know little to nothing about their family history, we will work on a five generation project collecting all available documentation on your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great grandparents. We can then present this information in an attractive, frameable family tree. We include a complete research report with copies of all documentation.
Ancestry (30 Hours) Cost $1500 plus expenses
Our most popular (and cost effective) package, this plan allows us to complete continuous research without interruption or having to use precious time to re-evaluate work previously done. This package is ordered most often by people who have completed our Discovery package and then want on-going research provided over the course of time.
We include a complete research report with copies of all documentation. This can be provided for each 30 hour block of time purchased or we can aggregate it over the life of the entire project. We can then provide you with options for publishing your research in an heirloom book that can be shared with family members, or printing attractive, frameable family trees.
Discovery (10 Hours) Cost $500 plus expenses
Want to see how far you really might go to discover your heritage? This great introductory package includes a detailed analysis of information you already know about your family and initial research into readily available sources. We include a report on findings and suggestions for further research.
Analysis (variable) Cost $75/hour
Let us give you a helping hand with the investigation into your family history. This package includes analysis of information you have collected or inherited into an understandable, usable format. We then work with you to develop a unique research plan. This package provides you with the flexibility of deciding if you wish to carry out the research plan yourself or have us do it for you.
If you decide to have us do the research for you, we can roll the hours used into one of the packages above and reduce your cost to $50/hour.
Reunions (variable) Cost $50 per hour payable in $500 retainer increments plus expenses
Would you like to hold a reunion of all the living descendants of a certain ancestor? We will work with you to identify all of those descendants and locate current addresses for them. We will also help you plan the reunion and manage the event. If you wish, we can also prepare a multi-media presentation on your common ancestor to be shown at the reunion.
Heirlooms (variable) Cost $50 per hour payable in $500 retainer increments plus expenses
Do you have a wedding, anniversary or other special event coming up? We can create a custom research package that will provide you with a great heirloom gift for this event. Give a framed family tree to a newly married couple that shows the merging of two lives and two families. Create a leather bound family history book to help a new graduate remember his roots as he goes out into the world. The possibilities are endless!
For an additional fee, we can rush this order to the top of our research calendar to meet a special deadline!
