Family History Research Rate :  £30 per hour

This rate includes any travel costs that I may incur to go to Edinburgh (e.g. National Records of Scotland) or local archive centres in the South of Scotland (in Hawick and Dumfries) It also includes the cost of all Scotlandspeople access which is charged by the archive on a daily basis (although I may need to add the cost of record copies where you require them). Expenses may be payable for required visits to archives elsewhere. I will normally provide you with a full written report on my findings.

If you require a family tree to be constructed, then I can do this for you with Family Historian software. This provides many options for layout, colour and information included for each individual.
