General Information:
Research sessions are handled in the order that the retainer is
received. Sessions are often completed in 8-12 weeks from receipt of
retainer. However, there are times that research may extend past 12
weeks pending receipt of outside correspondence or availability of
resources. In case of any delay longer than 12-weeks, you will be
notified. RUSH research is completed within 4 weeks or sooner, as
negotiated. If you need RUSH research, please telephone us at
800-596-3230 and note that there is an additional cost associated with
RUSH research.
Guarantee:
We guarantee thorough and detailed
work. No reputable genealogist can make any guarantee regarding the
number of ancestors who can be added to your family tree. Every family
is unique. Research success depends upon many factors: the common
occurrence of the surname, the time period in which the couple lived,
the status of records availability, and the geographic region in which
the family lived. Because you are purchasing a genealogist's time and
expertise, and not a tangible product, your prepaid research retainer is
non-refundable.
Billing: Prepayment in full by check, credit card or money order in United
States funds is required. Your retainer will be held in escrow until
completion of the research session. Upon completion, all hourly research
costs will be deducted from the deposit. Photocopy costs, postage and
handling, long distance phone calls, certificate fees and correspondence
costs are billed to you at the conclusion of each research session.
Photocopies are $.30 (thirty cents) each, domestic phone calls are
billed at $.15 (fifteen) cents per minute, overseas phone calls are
billed at $.25 (twenty-five) cents per minute, and postage and handling
fees are $6.00 for USPS 1st Class or Priority Envelope, $13.00 for USPS
Priority Box, $15.00 for USPS Global Priority Envelope. For "Next Day"
or Express, and FedEx shipments, the fee is cost of postage plus $2.00
handling. Other billed expenses will include on location sub-contracted
research services and county, state or country fees for vital records
certificates. You will be contacted for authorization if these costs
might exceed 10% of your pre-paid deposit.
Please send:
With this form and your deposit, please send a pedigree chart (family
lineage) and a family group record for the couple that you'd like us to
research. If you have conducted prior research on this family, please
send copies of pertinent records so that we will not duplicate your
efforts. If you have a GEDCOM file, please consider e-mailing the GEDCOM
file to us at
progenealogists@progenealogists.com.
