Terms and Conditions

We will provide an initial free consultation to ensure that the research you wish us to carry out is feasible and that the likelihood of success has been communicated to you.

Prior to commencing research, we will ensure that your requirements have been fully understood and that costs have been agreed.

Birth, marriage, death and parish register searches will be conducted using original sources. Transcripts will not be relied upon as fact.

We guarantee to commence research immediately upon receipt of full payment or required deposit depending on the service chosen.

We realise you will be eager to know the results of our research as soon as possible so we will provide you with regular with regular progress reports by telephone, e-mail, fax or letter as required.

Although we will endeavour to exhaust all possibilities in the search for your ancestor(s), it must be recognised that in some cases the historical sources are inadequate or may have been lost or destroyed, however all searches must be paid for whether the result is positive or negative.

Payment in full is required for the 'Bronze Package', 'Hourly and Daily Rates' and 'One Off Items' prior to commencement of research. A 50% deposit is required for the 'Silver Package' and 'Gold Package' with the balance due on completion of our research.

Additional mileage (over and above that included in Package) will be charged at cost, however any such journey will be agreed with the client before it is undertaken. Other travel fees and hotel fees will also be charged at cost but again, will be agreed with the client beforehand.

Please note that 'Hourly and Daily Rates' do not include the cost of certificates or photocopies.

The results of our research will remain the property of 'The Family Historians' until full payment is received.

Any invoice that remains unpaid more than 30 days after the date of our final invoice will incur interest at 8% above the Bank of England base rate prevailing at that time.

Payment can be made by Cash, Cheque, Postal Order or Paypal.
