Research Services

  We   offer   free   consultations   to   discuss   your   request.   These   consultations can    be    done    by    phone    or        by    way    of    a    live    video    meeting    via    Skype. Research   services      are   performed   by   the   hour   or   contract.   Most   clients choose   research   by   the   hour.   Research   is   conducted   in   2   hour   increments for      $   50.00   or   4   hours   for   $   100.00   plus   any   additional   expenses   if   they apply.        After    each    pre    established    time    frame    of    research    has    been completed,   a   report   is   made   back   to   the   client   for   a   decision      by   the   client on   whether   or   not      more   research   is   wanted.   The   report   and   any   supporting documents   are   delivered   by   email   in   PDF   format.   Many   clients   also   choose to   have   a   hard   copy   version   mailed   which   will   add   to   the   cost   for   copies   and postage.   If   DNA   enters   into   your   search   we   have   experience   in   this   area.   A DNA   test   is   required   along   with   a   3rd   party   fee   to   cover   the   cost   of   the   test. A copy of our research agreement  is available upon request.             Research   is   performed   all   over   the   US,   Canada   and   Europe   with   special emphasis   on   Michigan,   Ohio   and   the   province   of   Ontario.   We   are   linked with     over     1,000     Genealogists,     Publishers     and     other     industry     related professionals   worldwide.            For   documents   and   or   copies   of   records   that have   been   located,   you   will   be   advised   to   what   will   be   the   cost   to   get   these to   you   which   will   depend   on   the   origin   of   the   record   or   document.   For Records   obtained   in   courthouses   and   other   record   repositories,   your   cost   is what   we   had   to   pay   to   get   these   copies.   The      fastest   form   of   payment   is   by PayPal   which   we   accept   for   all   of   our   services.   If   you   have   a   PayPal   account, make   your   payment   to   payments@jacksonandplattgenealogy.com      We   also accept    the    following    major    credit    cards,    Mastercard    -    Visa    -    Discover    - American Express through your PayPal account Click Here For A Search Request Form .
