New Scottish family tree research packages from Scotland's Greatest Story

For many years I have only offered research through my Scotland's Greatest Story research service (www.scotlandsgreateststory.co.uk) based on an hourly rate, but I know that some people prefer the option of paying for a research package, for example, to obtain a family tree research report as a present for a celebratory event. 

As such, to offer a bit more flexibility, I have decided to put together two research package types for Scottish based research, offered as follows:

SGS 1: Four Generation Scottish Ancestral Tree     

£395  (£365 without a bound copy)

This package includes a full day of research at a ScotlandsPeople centre, plus additional research into newspapers and other resources, charts, and write up time. The starting point has to be an individual born in Scotland after 1960, with the report identifying the stories of parents going back three generations, including children’s details, and identifying the names of the ancestors in the fourth generation, and as much information on them as time will allow.

SGS 2: Five Generation Scottish Ancestral Tree

£695  (£665 without a bound copy)

This package includes two full days of research at a ScotlandsPeople centre, plus additional research into newspapers and other resources, charts, and write up time. The starting point has to be an individual born in Scotland after 1960, with the report identifying the stories of parents going back four generations, including children’s details, and identifying the names of the ancestors in the fifth generation, and as much information on them as time will allow.

(Although this is one generation further back, it is double the amount of work of the first package, as the number of families in a tree going back doubles with each generation!)

Please note:

• I will require as much information from you about the candidate chosen as the starting point as possible, including their parents' names, prior to making a start.
• Reports will include transcriptions of any records found. If original copies of records are requested, these can be sourced but will be charged at cost, in addition to the package fee.
• Where brick walls emerge, e.g. with a line that departs from Scotland at a particular time, or where there is a lack of documentation available, the research time will be redirected into fleshing out the stories of those that have been found with additional context.
• For printed and bound reports requested beyond the UK, an additional postage fee will be added, charged at cost for the relevant destination.
• A deposit will be required in advance for 40% of the relevant package, with the balance paid upon completion of the report, and prior to its despatch.  
• Payments accepted by PayPal, cheque, or via bank transfer.
  
• These packages are specifically for families that are known, or believed, to have lived within Scotland in the timescales involved. For other enquiries, for example Irish or English research, or cases involving adoptions, please use the hourly rate service - details at https://scotlandsgreateststory.wordpress.com/servicefees/.
• If required for a specific date, please contact me at least two months in advance.
  

I hope these may be of interest, and if so, you can contact me via my Scotland's Greatest Story at https://scotlandsgreateststory.wordpress.com/about-2/contact/, or via email directly at enquiry@scotlandsgreateststory.co.uk

I look forward to helping where I can!
