What
information do you need to begin?
The more information you can provide as a starting point, the better.
Research will begin from the last definite piece of information you know.
This may be your grandparent’s marriage certificate for example. However, if
you do not have any information about earlier generations of your family, it
is possible to begin research from your own birth certificate – all that is
needed is a name and an indication of date and place. What
will I receive for my money? Your funds will allow Anzestry to undertake research into your family history. It
should be understood that the funding pays for the searches to be carried out
on your behalf and that positive results can in no way be guaranteed in
advance. At the end of the stage of research a detailed report will be drawn
up explaining the research that has been carried out, the results of the
searches and their implications. This will be presented in an attractive
folder containing copies of the documents discovered during the course of the
work. If further research is possible, an indication of the steps to take
during the next stage will be included. |

What sort
of information will the report contain? Obviously every family is different and therefore every family
history will different also. The narrative report will provide an explanation
of the research undertaken together with details of the family members
identified and their relationships to each other. This will be illustrated
with a pedigree chart. Background details of the sources, social history and
places related to the family will also be included. |

Can you research more than one
family at once? Yes, research can be undertaken into one, two, four or as many lines
as you may want. Obviously, if all of the research funds are allocated to a
particular family line then it should be possible to make more progress with
that family than if the budget was split with other lines. Some people are
interested in their surname line only, others want to discover their maternal
ancestry also. It is even possible to look at all of your ancestors as a
whole – 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, 16 great
great-grandparents etc! A stage
of research is usually completed in 8 to 10 weeks. Delays can however occur
especially when research is undertaken overseas. If the research is to be
delayed greatly then you will be contacted about this. |

Can I have a
family tree chart drawn up? Yes, this is certainly possible. Anzestry provides a pedigree chart
showing the information discovered at each stage but once the research has
been completed, a full family tree chart can be drawn up showing all the
results discovered in one place. The cost of the chart will depend very much
on the size of the pedigree and the number of people in the chart and this can
be quoted for separately when research has ended. Most charts can be
attractively presented using computer software, or perhaps you may like to
commission a hand-scrivened pedigree like the one illustrated here. Can
I have more than one copy of the report? Yes,
further copies of the research report can be provided for other family
members for a nominal charge. |
