Let us research your family tree for you

Engaging professional researchers: what you should know:

Here is a useful document put out by the Society of Genealogists in the UK, which gives practical advice about commissioning genealogy research.

Employing a professional researcher: a practical guide

Our research.

TimeTrackers will research your UK and Australian family history to your specifications. For example, you might want to find out:

• everything about your mother's (or your father's) line, as far back as it can be traced;
• the names of as many ancestors as can be found, through all your grandparents' and great-grandparents' lines;
• a limited number of generations in order to complete an interesting wall chart; this can make a nice gift for family members;
• all of the family relatives of a particular generation.

Or perhaps you know a lot already but you need help in overcoming a difficult genealogical problem. Whatever your needs, we'll need some information from you to get started. We'll give you a no-obligation estimate of fees and charges...just tell us as much as you can beforehand. Email TimeTrackers and let us know:

• what you would like to find out, and
• briefly, what you already know about your family.

Our Terms of business.

TimeTrackers rates for research are $A35 per hour. An initial research time of 3 to 4 hours normally uncovers a reasonable amount of information, or at least reveals where there may be difficulties.

Family history research is not cheap. So much research requires obtaining documents such as birth, marriage and death certificates. Each of these will cost up to $A32. If other documents, such as wills, are required, they may be more expensive.

Let us know what you want and what you know, so that we can give you an estimate of the overall cost. That way, you can match your expectations to your budget.

A deposit will be required before we can commence work, and payment can be made by cheque or money order (in Australian dollars or UK pounds). Unfortunately, we don't have the facility to accept credit cards.
