This service involves exhaustive research through preserved documents to provide a comprehensive family history report. The report can be presented in either textual or graphical (video) format based on client preferences and financial considerations. The text typically includes densely packed archival information with references to specific documents, their copies, and explanations for the meanings of said documents. The length of the document starts from 5-20 pages, depending on the available sources.
A feasibility assessment, as described in the previous service type, is required before starting the research. The payment for this assessment is included in the advance for the research.
Researching the family involves delving into the depths of generations as far as the available documents allow. It includes documenting each generation's husband, wife, and children, as well as uncovering other significant information about the family history. The goal is not to expand the family tree with thousands of names unless the client requests it.
Due to the significant time required, I can only undertake a limited number of genealogical studies each year. Therefore, your research may be queued, and all details and terms will be negotiated individually. The work involves processing thousands of pages of documents, often in different languages and with varying levels of complexity. A thorough family history investigation is unlikely without the client's assistance in refining initial information. Please be patient and understanding.
The average completion time is about 12 months, and the final cost depends on the complexity of the research and the number of documents reviewed. All documents examined that do not contain relevant information will be documented and included in the final report. A comprehensive genealogical study starts at 950 euros for one line, with discounts available for multiple lines, particularly if they originate from the same locality and social class. I specialize in genealogical research of individuals from various religions (Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Jews, Protestants) and nationalities (Jews, Belarusians, Poles, Germans, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Latvians, Russians) with roots in Eastern Europe, specifically Belarus, Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia - countries that were once part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.
