Quality Promise
Prior to commencing your family tree research, we will ensure that your requirements have been fully understood, and that the likelihood of success has been explained to you.
Genealogy research will be conducted as far as possible from original source material. Original documents may need to be purchased in order for the research to continue. If this is necessary, we will always contact you to obtain permission prior to the ordering of any certificates.
Timescales in research will be advised in advance and you will be sent regular updates on the progress of your research so you know at all times how it’s going.
Preliminary searches will be conducted free of charge to ensure further research is feasible. Where genealogy research cannot proceed to the extent originally anticipated, the reasons for this will be explained to you and any fees will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. See FAQs for details of pricing basis for family tree packages and what is considered a reduced package to warrant a pro-rata refund
Ambiguous results will be communicated to you with such wording as “possibly” or “probably” and not cited as fact.
