Fixed price services
These services can help you get started with your family research or help fill in gaps with the research you have already done. It is possible to bundle these together, or add more individuals to your research. Feel free to contact me if you want to customise a service for your needs.

Document searches or local look-ups
Sometimes it's not possible to find everything you need online. Where appropriate I might suggest a document search or local document look-up as a next step to researching your family. I can do searches in the London area or I can coordinate document searches across the United Kingdom or the United States.
One-off document search
I offer a low cost, simple, one-off document search covering the major online databases (Ancestry, FindMyPast, and MyHeritage). This could include birth, marriage, or death records, obituaries, or immigration documents, as an example. This service covers the search cost and will include a digital record if available through one of the major databases. The service does not cover any additional costs for physical document order, though these can be facilitated.
from $10.00
London document look-ups
I am conveniently located to the National Archives at Kew, the British Library, the Society of Genealogists, as well as a number of London museums and libraries. Any searches done within the London area will not include any travel costs, but postage fees may apply.
Local research outside of London
If you require research outside of the London area in the United Kingdom, I may help. Please contact me to understand your research goals, and I can give you a quote for services I can offer. Travel will be charged in addition to the quoted fees, and postage fees may apply.
Document searches in the United States
Navigating document searches in the United States can be complicated due to the availability of documents state by state and varying privacy laws. I have helped clients order document searches, pinpoint the appropriate repository for information they need, and locate local genealogists that can help them further their research.
Additional services
I can offer bespoke help and advice, help clean and verify your family tree information, or give you a few different ways to tackle a problem you might be having.
Bespoke research & Ancestry DNA advice
If you have a specific problem or question, let me know how I can help. I'll give you a suggestion on where to start or help with anything you might have missed. I can also help you sort through your Ancestry DNA results or give advice on how to use these results yourself.
Ancestry tree clean-up
It's happened to all of us, you save a few shared family trees, or a couple of unverified hints send you down the wrong path, and before you know it your Ancestry tree is out of hand. If you need help sorting out your tree, verifying sources, or saving additional sources, I can help you.
