4) Cost per hour / cost per block of time / price of project?
Do you charge by the hour, the job or a block of time?
Since the nature of the work precludes a guarantee of results (specific relative identified, specific documentation
found, or anything located in a given time frame!) all projects are billed on an hours spent basis. My efforts will be directed
to providing as much information as I can, as economically as I can. My fee is $35.00 (US) per hour. New clients are
expected to purchase a minimum starter block of 3 (three) hours for $100.00, prepaid. The initial report for this would
include any indications of exceptional difficulty (example: there were 20,000 individuals by that name in those census
years, without knowing where he lived, when he was born, or his wife or siblings names I cannot reasonably identify this
individual) or of good fortune (example: this individual is included in a reputable Family History. All known descendants of
an original ancestor born 1634 are included in a book available from the family organization for $52.) Both of these
examples are approximations of actual occurrences in my research.
