Genealogy by the Hour

Flexible Research Support When You Need It

Our Research by the Hour service gives you direct access to professional genealogical expertise from £40 per hour, with a minimum booking of just one hour.

Whether you’re a beginner tracing your family tree for the first time or an experienced researcher who needs a second opinion, we can provide targeted support tailored to your specific needs.
