What an estimate depends on

Your goals

What you want to discover — one record, one line, or a whole family.

Initial information

How much is already known: names, places, dates, existing documents.

Circumstances

Distances to archives and towns, urgency, and other practical conditions.

How the work is charged

I work on an hourly fee, plus expenses. For some research projects, a “no results – no fee” option is possible.

Prices

When you pay

After we agree on a plan and estimate, I ask for a retainer (deposit) and begin the research. Before sending the results, I ask for the balance.
