If you have ancestors in Ireland, notice that research will be conducted at nearly every major Irish archive. If your ancestors are from Europe and you do not see the country of your ancestral origin, please send an inquiry regarding the feasibility of research there. They will likely visit other countries in Eastern Europe and Slovakia to conduct research for clients as well.
The cost to have us travel to another country to do on-site research in foreign archives is $80/hr., plus expenses. Travel costs are part of the 'plus expenses,' but they are pro-rated among clients requesting research in the same area. So, gather up your friends and family with ties to these countries and you may be able to reduce the travel expenses to near nothing!
