Some family-history questions cannot be solved online.
When records are not available digitally, when a municipality is slow to respond, or when local research is required, we can conduct on-site research directly in the town or archive where the records are held.
Your research budget can cover:
- Local archival, municipal, and parish research
- Difficult-to-access or non-digitized records
- Follow-up with local offices
- On-site document searches when necessary
- Travel and local research expenses
- Government or archival fees (when applicable)
- Copies, scans, and document retrieval
Every case is different. Your research estimate is based on the records involved, the complexity of the investigation, accessibility, local research requirements, travel, and applicable document or archival fees.
