THE ANCESTRAL REPORT
You will recieve an ancestral report detailing the whole family, generation by generation, or for whoever the report is for; for example, you may choose just one person's life to be researched.
I will note any record available at the time of research relating to births, baptisms, marriages, deaths, burials, census returns and newpaper reports etc. The report can be sent to you as a Word document or a PDF. I can also burn it to a CD. Printing is available along with a folder of your choice, this may be included in the research fees, depending on the package.
Should you wish to have an ancestral chart printed, I should be happy to contact a printer on your behalf. The price of this would be subject to the quality of the paper, finishes and the size of the chart.
