Pricing for Traditional Services

My hourly rate for traditional genealogical research services (i.e., not genetic analysis) is $50/hour plus expenses*. I provide an initial, one-hour consultation free of charge, in which I can help you assess whether my services are right for you and your project, and in which I can answer any questions you might have about how the process would work.

My hourly rate applies to the time it takes to:

• Review and verify consequential data that you provide me at the start of the project
• Conduct research
• Drive to and from physical repositories, if necessary
• Correspond
• Write and proofread reports

For simple document retrievals, a single hour may suffice. For solving genealogical problems, my services are booked in 10-hour blocks.

Contact me today to start with a free consultation!

* Expenses include, but are not limited to, things like fees that I might need to pay in order to park at an archive, enter an archive, request documents, copy/print paper records, mail the client a physical report (if client prefers over digital delivery), etc. I always have the client authorize such expenses in writing, before I incur such expenses.

Pricing for Genetic Services

For genetic genealogy projects assisting adoptees or law enforcement, my research rate is a flat $750,* regardless of how much time the task takes. I provide an initial, one-hour consultation free of charge, in which I can help you assess whether my services are right for you and your project, and in which I can answer any questions you might have about how the process would work.

I only accept payment after I have completed the project and identified a biological parent or suspect. After I have completed the research and payment has been made, I will then transmit the final research report.

* This fee covers my research. The DNA testing kit, equipment, lab sequencing costs, etc., represent separate expenses.
