FAMILY TREES $399 a month for an extensive book project; min. 3-month project.
Choose a three month, six month or one year project or more.
Single sessions (one time only) are $500 each. Price then drops if you are staying on towards a more fully developed tree project. Payment is due in advance of each session so that we have funding to work from as we conduct the research.

DISCOVER YOUR TOWN OF ORIGIN: $598 per session
We have a high success rate and almost always locate the town of origin so that your lineage can then get started. “Due diligence” will be applied, with the best effort possible given. We will find it something like 8 out 10 times. But occasionally, especially if the starting point is before the start of civil records, some cases are very difficult if there are scant starting details to work with. It may take a while to accomplish in some situations, but we are pretty experienced at the systematic effort this sort of quest takes. This price will typically be enough to accomplish the task, but occasionally it could require additional time.

ONSITE RESEARCH:
Onsite research is best used for towns that have not been microfilmed, parish records from a church (especially when needed to extend a lineage into earlier centuries before the start of civil records), tombstone research at a cemetery, village photos (free with most pkgs). Onsite work is usually a one day project done by a researcher in Italy. Please note that less can be done in person than by microfilm (when microfilms exist for a town). The Pallante Center can search microfilms when they exist (instead of onsite research). But sometimes onsite is the only way.
Churches, town halls, cemeteries or Italian libraries – Each case is unique. Travel fees may apply and depend on the individual researcher and his/her location in relation to the site. Expect a min. 50 euros an hour for research, plus their expenses. There is a $60 PCIR service charge, and processing fees may also apply after the trip, which depend on how much was found, and whether English labels need to be applied (instead of a full translation of each document), create of genealogical charts, etc.
Afterwards, additional processing fees may apply, especially if much was found. The new information must be sorted, labeled and processed in order to generate family groups and charts before delivery so that the client can understand what they have received. Additional hours billed at $50/hour. A typical project may be about $750 to $800 or so, variable by region. Payments are accepted by personal check only when a third party is involved. The $60 application fee/PCIR service charge may be made by PayPal or credit card. This will get your appointment set up, and time to review your starting information and plan research strategy.
