These off-the-shelf packages are described below. However, if this is not quite what you're looking for, you might want to consider our local archive searches or complete the simple enquiry form below.
Placing your order from the UK or overseas could not be easier. There are online forms and an online payment system available on this website.

The price includes:
- 6 hours research
- up to 4 birth, marriage or death certificates
- a spiral-bound report

If you would like us to research your family further back in time then the Standard Package would be more suitable. Using parish registers and other appropriate records, we would aim to trace your family back to the 18th century.
You could also choose this option if you would like us to investigate 2 or 3 branches of your family at once, using the standard national records listed above.

The Advanced Package will give you plenty of options if you are looking for a more substantial piece of work.
With more research time, we will have greater freedom to trace your ancestors further back in time and expand the story of your family into different areas using a wider range of historical sources.
You could ask for more detailed research into one main line, or you may want us to investigate several branches of your family tree at the same time.

When you commission us to carry out research, we will clarify exactly what you want us to do before we start, and we will keep in contact with you throughout the process. You can direct the work as much, or as little, as you like. We want to make sure that you will be be pleased with the end product.
Note - There are never any guarantees in Family History. Some ancestors cannot be found because vital evidence has been destroyed, misplaced or simply never existed.
Whilst we will explore every sensible avenue in the search for your ancestors, we do not want to waste your money.
If we hit a brick wall, we will let you know and inform you of your options. In such cases, work on your project will be suspended and no further money spent until you have decided what you want us to do.
