Our Free Consultation
Before a genealogical search, it is impossible to tell how long it will take. Therefore, our free consultation and/or search is the first thing we do. We also offer to do the research in steps of a limited number of hours, i.e. the number you prefer.
On top of that, we keep you informed about the progress during the search, so you can adjust the purpose or terminate the research at any time, and for any reason in which case, we will refund unused hours in total.
Our services are billed hourly and our rate is 50 USD per hour. We charge only for our working hours and we don’t add any other costs at all.
