Free Initial Assessment

I would like to offer you one hour of my time for free, with no obligation attached on either side.

During that time we shall discuss (probably by email, but I can send you a Zoom link if you prefer) what you know and what you would like to know. The remainder of the hour will consist of me doing some initial research in order to judge whether I can help you.
 

Please be aware that high quality research cannot be rushed. If you would like some research done for a loved one's birthday next week, it would be better to make that next year's gift. I should be able to estimate how long a project might take. 

If we agree that progress is possible then we can discuss precise arrangements and costs.
 

I charge £22 per hour plus costs (documents, travel, etc), but can also make bespoke arrangements whereby you pay a fixed sum for me to research a certain amount of your family tree.
 

When we have agreed the scope and cost of the research I will send you an invoice for payment. 

This will summarise what we have agreed, and will also include a detailed list of the terms and conditions. Payment of the invoice will indicate that you have agreed to the terms of the contract. 

When I have completed the work I will send it to you. The format will be your choice. It can be anything from an emailed PDF to a hardcover coffee-table book. 

You may also want a beautifully printed pedigree showing the main elements of your ancestry; this can also be arranged.

It may be that you have some other request - please ask me and we will see what is possible!
