What does it cost?

Service Fee (Fixed)

Research & production of a single line (Paternal or Maternal) Family tree £125

Research & production of a joint Paternal and Maternal Family Tree £225

Don't forget to add on the fees for supplying certificates....

Certificate Fees (Variable)

All certificates are charged at cost. Current cost is £7 each as charged by the Office of National Statistics. Ancestors are traced through their birth and marriage certificates only. Occasionally death dates are recorded but not as part of tracing a tree unless it is necessary. You can reasonably assume that 8 certificates will allow tracing back from your parent's marriage to your great great grandparents.

A single line family tree should cost you £125 + £56 = £181

A maternal and paternal family tree should cost you £225 + £112 = £337

All figures are approximate. Family history is not an exact science and brick walls can be encountered. If, however ancestors cannot be traced back to your great great grandparents then the overall final cost can be reduced through negotiation based upon the number of hours research completed and number of certificates supplied.

For other ad hoc research undertaken (e.g. tracing ancestors back pre-1837 via parish registers) cost is £12 per hour.
