Standard Fixed-Price Family History Package

The package has been constructed to deliver meticulous research in a cost-effective and understandable format.

I will gather information from the key national sources and collate all the information discovered into the Family Historian genealogy database system. From this I will print out family tree charts and detailed reports for you.

The report will include:

  • A summary of the research path followed
  • Details of one ancestral line, usually going back to the beginning of civil registration (1837 in England/Wales), fully supported by references to the original source material.image: census entries and civil registration certificates form the backbone of all research
  • Many full birth, marriage and death certificates for key events, with transcriptions.
  • Copies of census and other original material, with transcriptions of the handwritten items.
  • Family tree diagrams up to A3 size
  • Explanations of the principal sources used in the research.
  • Guidance about possible further research

As well as the family book, you will also receive a resource CD, featuring:

  • Electronic copies of the above reports and charts which you can print out or email to other relatives.
  • Images of the original documents recorded in the course of the research (subject to copyright permission).
  • A GEDCOM file of your family history data. This can be used to place all the known facts into almost any commercially-available family history computer program. Even if you do not have such a program yourself, you may find it invaluable to send to another genealogist in the future.

Optional extras
If you wish I can also provide a browser-navigable e-Family, decorative A3 charts for framing, or a large-format (banner) chart for a small extra charge.

 

~ FAQs

What information do I need to provide?
The birth or marriage certificate of a parent or grandparent from the early 1900s is an ideal starting point. The more information you can give me, the better - but don't worry if you don't already know very much, as I can start with very little if necessary.

How many of my ancestors will be discovered?
Beginning with the source person you have selected (born in the early 1900s), I aim to work back three generations along one line - most people select a particular surname to be followed. Alternatively, you may wish to trace those following a particular profession, the purely maternal line, or the line who go back furthest in a particular town or village. I would usually recommend covering only one line at a time. If you would like an estimate for researching two or more lines, please contact me to discuss.

How much does it cost?
For prices, timescale and a comparison with the other fixed price packages I offer, please see this table.

~ Testimonials ~

  • Hi Angela, Nan was over the moon with the presentation of the family tree - it is absolutely great - we cannot wait to pass it round and all read it thoroughly.
    - Clare B. (Bristol)
    .
  • Dear Angela, I would like to say than you very much from both me and my mum. Mum now knows why she knew nothing about her grandparents and some things have now fallen into place for her.
    - Gina K. (Kent)
    .
  • The final report was a fantastic surprise, not only the content which was thorough and detailed, but in the presentation which was very professional. I can't fault Angela's service, communication was excellent throughout the process and therefore I would not hesitate to recommend her if, like me, you're curious to find a few unknowns facts and truths about your own family!
    - Rob B. (London)
