We offer professional research services in the records located on-site in Southern Italy and Sicily.
The completed report includes a log of locations and records searched, an analysis of the information found, and copies or extracts of the documents located. On-site research can also include extracts from local phone books or photos of the area as requested. Sometimes tourist brochures, maps and/or postcards can be obtained.
A free research proposal is available upon request, please state details concerning the ancestor(s) of interest and the goal(s) desired from the research project.
Project rates are $550/day for an on-site research project. The cost breaks down as follows:
$100 for air/train fare to Sicily (pro-rated between clients, because research is usually done for about 10 clients or days);
$150 for daily lodging, food, and travel expenses (including car rental and gas);
$300 for eight hours of research, report writing, and up to two hours of travel time on each paid research day.
This allows enough funds to cover expenses on weekends (when record offices are generally closed) and travel days (10 hours by train or bus between Rome and Sicily at each end of the trip, or the faster but more expensive flights between Catania or Palermo and Rome).
Rates are payable in advance, payment can be made through the PayPal icon below: Or, payment can be made by sending check or money order for $550.00 (US) to:
