I do not charge for the initial consultation to review and discuss your research project. I want to make sure I clearly understand what you want me to accomplish.
Each project is unique. A genealogist can’t guarantee how many hours of research will be required or that they will be able to FIND your ancestor. 
Before I can tell you how I can help, I ‘ll need to know what documents you already have and discuss what questions you want answered. This is a FREE CONSULT and gives me an opportunity to create a research plan.
Sometimes it’s best to break down a large project into several smaller, more manageable tasks. You are in charge of the cost and number of hours and I will work carefully within your budget. Once I have a research plan drafted I will send it to you for your acceptance, editing or refusal.
