We offer professional research services in the records located on-site in Southern Italy and Sicily. These records can include civil birth, marriage, or death records. They can also include church baptism, marriage, and death records. Another useful source of information is military records.
The completed report includes a log of locations and records searched and an analysis of the information found and copies or extracts of documents located. On-site research can also include extracts from local phone books, photos of the area, interviews with extended family members.
A free research proposal is available upon request, please state details concerning starting ancestor and goal desired from 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).
Project rates are payable in advance, and can be made through the PayPal icon below: Or, payment can be made by sending check or money order for $550.00 (US) to:
