Research Details


We have four levels of all-inclusive research packages to suit your budget and requirements, ranging from the simple Acorn package to the top-of-the-range Full Oak package, with a specialist wedding package in addition. If none of these are appropriate, then you can request individually tailored research at our hourly rate (see below), or contact us to see if we can arrange a package to suit you. All research includes our initial free consultation and assessment.


On conclusion of the research a full report on the story of your family will be delivered to you either in thermal bound format by post or as a pdf file via e-mail. Accompanying the report will be a family tree, birth and marriage registrations and other relevant documentation such as census returns. The report will include suggestions for future research, should you wish to follow your family line further. Gift vouchers are also available. Please see our terms and conditions for further details on all forms of research.

This package will include the direct paternal name family lines of both bride and groom back to the early 1800's, as in the Acorn and Sapling packages, presented on special paper in a quality wedding themed binder.
present

Special

Occasions

For that special occasion, such as the expected arrival of a new baby, a retirement, landmark birthday or other celebration you could present the recipient with an Acorn family history gift voucher to redeem against the package of their choice, or commission one of our standard packages on their behalf. Any package or voucher can be presented in a suitably themed format.
library

Individual

Research

In addition to the packages outlined here, we can carry out individual research to your requirements at a cost of £40 per hour plus travel expenses (we do not charge for travel time). This might involve for example looking in more depth at a particular individual or family, tracking down a will, or finding out details of an ancestor's family prior to the beginnings of civil registration in 1837.
