Pricing
Three fixed-price packages in US dollars. Before you pay, we send a written plan stating the person, the question, the sources we will search, what you receive and the price.
One-time payment, no subscription. What we find depends on the records that survive online; no number of generations is promised.

These are examples of the kind of question each package is built for, not projects we have completed.
One agreed question about one person. For example: “Where was my grandfather born?”, “Who were my great-grandmother’s parents?” or “Can these two census records refer to the same person?”
The documented life of one person or couple: where they lived, their family, work and key events, told as a short narrative with the records explained, a family group chart and a keepsake page.
One family line agreed in your plan, followed through the records that survive online, with a full narrative report, the evidence for each link and a keepsake.
If our paid research finds no qualifying new record attributable to the ancestor in your plan, we refund your fee in full, automatically. How the guarantee works.
So you know the full cost before you decide. The written plan fixes the scope; if you later want to ask a new question or widen the search, we quote it as a new plan.
No. The review and the plan are free and without obligation.
Prices are set in US dollars. At checkout, Stripe may show the amount in your local currency, such as pounds, Canadian or Australian dollars.
No. The price in your plan includes the research, access to the record collections we search for your case and the files we deliver.
