scandinavian ancestry

Simple single/or one family ancestor searches are $35 per hour. Simple searches are generally for birth, death or marriage information, a cemetery listing or immigration information. No extra charges apply if scanned images of documents are sent by e-mail. Translation is included.  And if I need to order copies of  a certificate of any kind, I'll let you know beforehand to get your permission. Photo copies, postage and other applicable costs are billed to client. The fee for a copy of a birth certificate, marriage license or death certificate differs from state to state. It can cost anything between 9 -30 dollars. 

Research in all available Swedish or Scandinavian Census Collections or in the US State or Federal State Census Collections.

Research in all available emigration records/databases and available passenger lists.

Translation and a copy of what I find on the person/household/family is of course included. 

This search for one ancestor (one family)  encompasses electronic databases, census records and other indexed resource materials. Photo copies, scanned images or transcriptions of records found are provided to the client, along with a full research report. The fee covers the time (normally 20-40 hours) I spend on the research, photo copies & postage.  No extra charges apply if scanned images of documents are sent by e-mail. Observe that turn-around time is normally three to four weeks, but may be faster depending on actual work load.

Translation is included. 

I honor all returning clients with same fee as the original. Also, I do have special packages for Orust researchers. See special page for more info.
