1 Send me your request   Indicate your research target. Be specific. Are you looking for ancestors or living relatives, or certain documents? Include the names, dates and places pertinent to your research, if you have them. Religious denomination is often very helpful for determining sources. My reply to your inquiry is absolutely free of charge. It involves no further financial or other commitment. 2 I'll see what can be done   I'll check which research is possible based on the information you have provided. I conduct free preliminary research to determine which relevant sources are available and know where they are. I can then estimate our chances for a successful joint project. 3 I make a proposal   Provided that promising sources are available, I will send you a proposal detailing the results to be expected, how long it will take, and what it will cost. 4 You decide   My proposal enables you to estimate both the outcome and the price. The decision whether or not to commence research is up to you. 5 I do the research   Once you have made your decision, I begin researching and complete the project as quickly as possible. 6 Your payment   Upon completion of the research, I will send you a brief summary of the results. Only then are you expected to send funds. 7 You get the results   After I have received your payment, I will send you your complete research report, including all attachments, such as photographs, copies of original documents, ancestral charts, family records, maps, and everything else I have found.
