  Research Projects
  All research projects will be charged at a rate of $17.00 per hour.  This may include individual people, lines of ascendancy, or entire family trees.  A few of the individual research projects will also be charged at this rate, typically for the most difficult requests.  It is important to realize that some people are lost to history.  For instance, it would be an impossibility to locate certain records in the southern states before 1865, as a large number of them were destroyed in fire during the Civil War.  There are other resources to explore, however, so some research will be necessary.
  Expenses
    Travel in Springfield, MO and Tulsa, OK are included in the prices of individual records searches.  For research projects, travel in the Branson, MO and the Wagner, OK and Muskogee, MO area are included in the hourly fees.  All other travel will be quoted.  The expenses for materials and documentation will be discussed as they arise.  These could range from $2.00 for some documents to between $30.00 and $50.00 for some obscure texts.
  Payment Terms
  Payment will be due at the time of request.  For research projects, we will discuss a budget and a retainer will be required before work begins.  We can accept personal check, money order, cash, and some electronic methods, such as credit/debit card and wire transfer.  We are eager to put our skills to work for you, so please call or write with any questions.
