Linen – The Urban Historian

Research into one branch of your family tree.

Linen Package Cost £300

Our Linen package takes the form of a study of one side of your family tree – this could be your mother or fathers side. If you would like to look at both of your parents surname, we suggest using our Silk Package which looks at two surnames.

Whatever side of your family that is chosen, we allocate 8 hours of research time, which generally allows to go back at least 3 to 4 generations if not a bit further. Our research depends on you being able to provide enough information on your parents for us to use as a starting point.

Our Linen Package includes:

8 Hours of Research online and in the National Records of Scotland
Genealogical report on your chosen branch of the family.^*
Copies or transcripts of documents gathered including official certificates where appropriate.^*
Information from available census returns.^*
A3 family tree chart (Printed).
A Gedcom file of your Family Tree.
The price incudes, travel, admission price to archives when required, the cost of obtaining copies of registrar or parish record entires, and printing costs.

* For Linen & Silk packages, reports are provided as PDF files on DVD. If you wish, a printed and bound copy of the report, this will incur an extra charge (currently £35). All data gathered can also be delivered on a USB pen drive if required at extra cost of £5.

We ask for a deposit of 50% to be paid prior to research to cover initial costs and reserve the right to withhold supply of the final documents until all fees have been paid. Payment can be made by Cheque, Cash or Bank Transfer.
