Genetic genealogy prices

Hourly rate


Genetic genealogy research (DNA tests) is charged at my standard hourly rate, currently £50 per hour. For any required traditional (documentary) family history research to accompany the DNA work the hourly rate is the same.


Chargeable time includes time spent researching, analysing information and preparing reports, as well as time spent on telephone calls and writing emails to the client.


Travel


Research at many of my local archives is carried out without an additional charge for travel. Any travel costs will be discussed with the client before taking on a research project.


Document supply


Documents are supplied at cost price. Where copies of documents are required and a definite cost of these cannot be determined upfront, the cost will be deducted from the agreed budget and the amount of research reduced on a pro rata basis.
