Prior to starting a project:
-
I will determine your goal, what information you already know and where you’ve already researched. I want to take everything into account before I start so that I am not recreating what is already known and wasting valuable research time.
-
I charge $79/hr for all projects and do not have a minimum number of hours. All projects start with just 2 hours and are fully customizable. You can add more hours at any point while it's your turn on the waitlist. I will not go beyond agreed upon hours without permission.
My promise to you:
-
I promise that I will treat your family’s memories as if they were my own as I work to uncover their stories.
-
I promise to work efficiently and ethically in the time budgeted. Your project will remain confidential.
-
I promise to keep you updated during your project.
-
I believe in affordable family history. If I do not believe your research goal is attainable, I will alert you to that as soon as possible. I am open to payment in installments, as well.
Things to consider:
-
You may learn things that are contrary to what you have believed about your family relationships or I may disprove a family legend. Please be aware that this is possible in my research.
-
A family tree is never fully complete. There is always more to be found, especially at the rate that records continue to become digitized.
