Copies, documentation, postage, travel time to research centers, telephone calls, and associated costs are billed separately. We provide you with a detailed statement of all activity. You will be advised of the activites or procedures that need to be undertaken in order to provide you with the type of family history research you are interested. Some only want a family tree with names and dates and do not require further documentation. Others, want to know about their ancestors' lives, churches, occupations, places of residence, etc.
All work is discussed prior to commencement.
Therefore, you control what reseach you want performed or what information you want. This initial research payment will only be applied and used as you approve. If you approve of more research and information, just let us know. We do not require a retainer, as we will be working on a pre-paid basis for a shorter period of time. I have been working and researching England and Wales, and Chester County records for several years.
