Research Services & Pricing

Every family history journey is unique. Our pricing reflects the care, time, and professional research required to conduct ethical, evidence-based genealogical work.

Generational Journeys offers transparent, project-based pricing designed to meet clients at different stages of their research journey. Whether you are just beginning or pursuing advanced documentation, each project is approached with care, confidentiality, and historical accuracy.

All research is conducted professionally, ethically, and with respect for sensitive family histories.

How Our Pricing Works

Genealogical research varies widely based on record availability, historical context, and research complexity. To ensure clarity and fairness, Generational Journeys uses flat-rate research packages rather than hourly billing.

This approach allows clients to:

  • Know costs upfront

  • Avoid open-ended billing

  • Receive clearly defined deliverables

Each package includes:

  • Research planning & strategy

  • Record analysis and documentation

  • Source citations

  • A written research summary

If additional research is recommended, it is always discussed and approved before proceeding.
