When It comes to investing money into someone doing your family history, you should be confident in what it is that you are paying for. I do not take it lightly by any means when someone is willing to spend their hard earned money, in order for me to do research for them.
There are two routes that you may take when investing in your family history. First route is for us to work as a team, and second is for me to do everything.
What are the steps?
First I will consult with you and find out what your vision is for how this is compiled, what information you are hoping to find out etc.
I will give you a rough quote as to what the fees are.
I will email/snail mail an accepting contract to you for you to sign.
I will start my research checking in with you on a bi-weekly basis.
Depending on what final product you are looking to accomplish, I will either email you the links/send you the portfolio.
How long will the process take?
This is a very difficult question to answer, however I can give you a rough idea when we consult about what it is that you are looking for and what end goal you are looking to have.
