PixBytes Family History Services

Hourly Family History Research

Are you researching your family tree and need some research done in the county of Gloucestershire, England and are unable or prefer not to make the journey to Gloucester? Perhaps you need Gloucestershire parish registers searched to verify or find a baptism, marriage or burial. Maybe there are other resources you would like examined at Gloucestershire Archives (formerly Gloucester Record Office) for your ancestors.

I offer a helpful and efficient hourly research service, starting at just £10 per hour. All research is undertaken promptly and as accurately as possible. Details of sources examined and results, both positive and negative, will be sent to you, usually within 5 working days for a few hours research. With larger research commissions you will receive regular progress reports.

My hourly service may be used to select a pre-determined budget for your family tree research, or to purchase research in blocks if you want to spread the cost.

You may purchase a single hour at £12.50 (includes travel and parking costs), 2-5 hours at £11 per hour, or 6+ hours for £10 per hour. Payment is both easy and secure and may be made in any currency. >> more

Number of Hours:

In order that I can provide you with the best possible service, please provide me with as much information as possible for the area you want investigated, including copies of certificates and other sources that you are already aware of. You may send a family tree diagram or a GEDCOM. This will ensure that you are not paying me to duplicate the information you already have, or to search areas you have already looked. Only if you give me thorough background information, will I hopefully be able to help you further. Please use the form on the contact page to provide these details.

Copies of Documents

If you require copies of documents or parish register entries, please add on a camera licence fee, which is charged by Gloucestershire Archives (subject to copyright and permission) at £5 per day (which equates to every five hours of research).

Camera Licence Fee:

Generally, I only take copies of entries which relate to your direct ancestors, otherwise this could waste your research time. Please advise if you have other requirements. Whilst I always try to obtain the best possible image for you, quality can vary according to the condition of the original document or the quality of the fiche. Images of documents will be sent electronically.

GRO Certificates

Payment for GRO certificates as required. The price of £9.95 includes a digital copy and administration fees. Please note certificates are for clients who are buying my research services and are not offered as a one-off purchase, for which I recommend you order direct from the General Register Office.
