Fees

As each project is different, Relative Strangers will always provide you with an individual quote. Payment terms are a 40% deposit, payable after preliminary searches, and balance of fees on completion of research. Overseas enquiries are welcomed. Relative Strangers believes Family History should be accessible, so aims to provide a professional service at an affordable price!

Typical Prices for Popular Research Options:

  • Single Surname line traced back to early 1800s - around £90
  • Full Family Tree traced back to early 1800s - around £250
  • Mini project - £40
  • Consultation and Advice - FREE!
  • If you have a particular budget in mind, Relative Strangers will carry out as much research as possible within that.


Relative Strangers can search the General Register Office BMD index of Births, Marriages or Deaths (from 1837) for the required event and obtain an official GRO England or Wales Birth, Marriage or Death Certificate for you.

  • Official UK birth Marriage and death certificates obtained for you.
  • Search conducted within 2 working days. Certificates subject to Registry Office delivery times.
  • Pay through PayPal (credit/debit card), by Cheque (UK only) or Sterling Postal Order
  • Overseas orders welcome, certificates sent by Airmail.

If they are obtained individually we charge the following rates, in advance, which covers the cost to us, our research time and p&p:

Prices:

  • GRO Certificates – with full GRO reference given                           £15
  • GRO Certificates – up to five year search                                           £20
  • GRO Certificates – up to ten year search                                            £25


If we are unable to find the appropriate census return then the full fee still applies, as we will have spent time researching it.

The method of payment can be arranged to suit the client’s preference, wherever possible.   The client can restrict the costs to be incurred, by establishing a cost ceiling.

The timescale for completing the work obviously depends on the scope of the project, however, Relative Strangers estimates a research time of around 2 weeks per generation.   Relative Strangers will keep you regulary informed about the progress of your research at regular intervals.
