Additional Services and Information

If extra copies of Birth, Marriage or Death (BMD) certificates need to be ordered to begin or progress the research, these will be charged at £20 each. You will, of course, be consulted beforehand.

All packages can be customised - if you want an extra heraldic report, tree chart or additional research hours, these can be added at any time. We're very flexible!


There is no charge for applying, or for our initial consultation. Once we have ensured that your family line is traceable, and made sure we understand your requirements we ask for a non-refundable £50 deposit. The remainder is payable once our work is complete.
