All fees are agreed in advance so you will know the amount you will pay before we start research. We will also give you an estimate of how long the project is likely to take.

We usually divide Research projects into phases of ten to twenty hours. The Clients always have control over the project direction and expenses. At the end of the each phase, you will receive a report with the findings and scans of any original records consulted during the phase.

When “classic” family history research is requested we usually start with “Basic research package”. That Preliminary Research of available records about your ancestry includes a 5 hour research in an archive (Church and Governmental), a report that includes all the information that were found and also a suggestion how to continue. The cost for “Basic research package” is one-time fee of 350 Euro and € 0,4 Euro per kilometer if travel is necessary to complete the task.
