GUIDE
Cost may vary depending upon how much information you want and how much
research may have to be done.
If I already have the information you are seeking, the cost will be
according to the price table below. If I have to
do additional research, it will depend on several variables (distance
to travel, time to accomplish, etc.). I do not
do this for a living or to make a profit - I simply wish to help people
with their French-Canadian ancestry and to
cover my expenses. I have been doing this for many years and am an
expert in this region with Franco-American genealogy. I can help more than
85% of those seeking information (with a Maine connection) on this subject.
-
Direct Lineage (to France) - $25 (plus $3 postage) prepared
on a decorative 8-1/2 X 11 sheet (you receive two copies)
-
Additional Direct Lineages - $15 each (includes postage)
(you receive one copy)
-
Birth, Marriage, or Death info. - $5 per item or name
-
Surname listing - $25 to $40 depending on size of listing
(vary from 1 to more than 80 pages)
-
Eight-generation Pedigree - $95 (if all French, generally
consists of 9 pages with up to 127 direct ancestors)
-
Full Pedigree - e-mail me for estimated cost (generally consists
of more than 4,000 direct ancestors)
Consulting - $15 per hour
There is no charge if I cannot get the information you requested. If I
am able to get partial information, the cost
will be according to how much was actually obtained (usually a small
fee).
Generally, this is the order in which I prefer to work with you.
1. You provide me with the information you are looking for (either
by e-mail, snail-mail, or telephone call).
2. I will check my records to see if I can help you.
3. I will contact you as soon as possible and let you know if
I have the information you are seeking and tell you
how much I will do it for. If I can't help you, I will
suggest other sources which may help you.
4. You should then send me a check or money order (in US dollars)
for the specified amount.
5. Upon receiving it I will forward the information to you either
by snail-mail or by e-mail, whichever you request.
I prefer to send it e-mail if possible as it also
saves both of us postage expenses, time and trouble.
Depending on the amount of work required, I may be able to get back
to you within a couple of days or longer
(up to two weeks or more) if I must do research at the Archives or
order and view special microfilm (which could
take a couple of months due to time required between ordering and receiving
any microfilm(s).
My prices are extremely fair and my work is accurate as humanly possible.
THANK YOU
