Services


All local research is conducted at the Archives of Ontario, the Toronto Reference Library, the North York Public Library, and other Ontario repositories. International research will be conducted at the Mormon Family History Centre, the Toronto Reference Library and repositories in the Country of Origin. To begin a research project, I will need as much information as you have - no information is too small or irrelevant . Sources of information can be as follows: names, dates, places or events - such as marriages, births or deaths.

Payment must be received before any research will be conducted. Accepted methods of payment are personal cheques or money orders in Canadian, US or UK funds.

Some of the extra costs that are not covered under the displayed fee structure, are fees for certification requests, extra copies, extra travel expenses, etc.

All packages offer a review of your family records and knowledge, coupled with the development of an initial research plan. Each package also includes the start of the initial research, copies of all documents found, a progress report documenting the records found and how they affect your family history, as well as providing suggestions for future research possibilities. Once you receive the report, you can decide if you would like to continue your research and which package would be appropriate for your needs. Although I can not guarantee positive results, I will do my best to uncover any information that I reasonably can for a search request. I shall not keep any copies of the information once I send it to you, and I will do the search and mail the results to you in a timely fashion.

We hope any information collected on your behalf helps you to add new knowledge that benefits your family story.
