DISCOVER YOUR TOWN OF ORIGIN:
$598 advance retainer ($50/hr) 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 within this budget. It could be a lot of work, depending on the situation, or might be found quickly and the balance used to start the actual tree. 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 (and more than one session) 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 and also start the tree, or if a tough situation could require additional time. A preliminary review for $60 may give some insight or how it might go for your unique case, after examining your starting details.

ONSITE RESEARCH:
(Not avail as a stand-alone project)
Onsite research would typically be needed for parish records from a church (especially to extend a lineage into earlier centuries before the start of civil records), tombstone research at a cemetery, village photos. Onsite work is usually a one day project done by a researcher in Italy. It is available through PCIR to supplement a book project being done by PCIR.
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 (approx. 4 hrs.) for research, plus a travel fee to the site.

VISIT YOUR ANCESTRAL VILLAGE/Genealogy Travel
Available through PCIR only for Sicily. **To meet living relatives requires that research be done in advance of the trip at our regular session rates. We will need to research the tree forward to get that point, but also need to go back in time at least a little bit to find the common ancestor before the period of mass immigration.
If you don’t want any research and only need the private tour and/or translator on your trip to Sicily, this can be arranged (with no archival research involved). Just fill out the form for the tourguide regarding your personal needs on the trip and you will get a quote.
