Online Genealogy Advice Session 

Do you or a close family member need advice from a professional genealogist? Why not book an online advice session by Zoom?

This makes a great Xmas gift for a loved one! We can help them with their family tree - from beginners to the more experienced - after the first session they can book regular coaching sessions and learn how to research their tree and overcome obstacles.

During the 2 hour session, we can discuss their family tree research requirements and help them get organised if they do not know what to do next with their research. We will be able to show them websites and resources (via screen share) and guide them through some of the next stages of research.

Important - what you should know:

• The advice session lasts for TWO hours.
• There are no refunds if the full two hours is not used. See below Non-Fundable Fee about how we can help make the time well spent.
• If they have queries about researching overseas, this may require a second advice session. 
• Every family and research scenario is different, the genealogist approaches each one separately and may decide it is not possible to answer their query based on what they have told them during the first half of the session. This scenario arises when the answer can only be found in an archive - the genealogist may still be able to point them in the right direction however.
• Some part-time genealogists have larger ambitions than records allow and so they may find the genealogist will tell them there are no records that can answer their questions.

Non-refundable Fee
Because the two hour fee is non-refundable even if the session ends after 40 minutes, it is therefore up to the customer to make full use of the time and compile several questions or query more than one family line when preparing for the session. We will do our very best to assist with this and helping the gift recipient/attendee to make sure the time is well used.

Do you have a gift certificate for this session?
Yes. Once you have ordered we will dispatch a presentation voucher within 72 business hours.
