Whatever your genealogy needs, I’m here to help! Please read below to familiarize yourself with the two offerings and prices I have for genealogy services.
As you can tell, this site is being updated. I am still offering services.

Family Genealogy Research – $35/hr
Interested in finding out more about your great-uncle, the supposed world war one flying ace? Trying to break through that brick wall where you think your Great-Great-Grammy Gertrude’s mother might be hiding? Need someone to double check your foot work due to a grandfather being named John Smith?
Not a problem! I’m willing to help, for a small fee, of course:
Services start at $35/hr.
- Initial time block of 3, 5, or 10 hours needs to be paid up front.
- Additional time can be billed, instead of prepaid, in 5 hour increments.
You will receive individualized attention to your question. No two questions are the same and no two searches should be the same!
Prior to creating my research plan, I’ll look over all documentation sent to me and email with clarifying questions. This time is NOT billed as I consider this just stretching the brain cells before putting them to work. The more info you have, and the more specific the question, the better use I can make of my time and your money.
Once I’ve utilized the agreed upon allotment of time, I will provide you with copies of all relevant documents, a family tree in PDF format (if applicable) with corresponding GEDCOM file (if applicable), and a report covering what research was done, what parts of the question remain, and recommendations on what the next step should be in the research.
If research includes physically going to locations to gather records, this will be discussed separately as Maine is a large state and some resources have limits/seasonal hours.
One Hour Blast – $50/hr
Have a specific question pertaining to a Maine family member? Have a limited budget and don’t want to overshoot?
A One Hour Blast consists of me looking over all the prior information you have gathered, taking time to create a research plan, and then hyper-focusing on digging up as much as I can in a short amount of time.
How does this differ than regular genealogical research? During a One Hour Blast, I do not analyze the information while doing research. This can lead to potential false-leads and dead ends, but may give you the information to move on in your own research.
Why is this limited to Maine only? Because I specialize in Maine genealogical research I know what information exists where online and can streamline my search. Other states I am not as familiar with and need to reorient myself each time.
Why is this limited to online research only? That’s easy enough to answer – I only have one hour to help dig up as much as I can for you. Here in Maine, just traveling to certain town and probate offices can take an hour or more. So much can be found online in one hour!
In response to the One Hour Blast you’ll receive a brief re-cap of what was found, copies of any documents, and ideas on what the next step of research could look like.
Because a One Hour Blast is an intense amount of research in a short amount of time, the price is different than my normal rate.
