WW2 Bomber Command Crews

We aim to offer our clients a tailor made research package suited to their needs.   This may involved a complete study of a Relatives Service or perhaps just checking a few documents, this can be discussed during your Consultation.

​

We offer a FREE Consultation to ascertain that enough information is available to carry out a search on your behalf.  We will then send you a research proposal which will detail what will be checked, how long this might take & the costs involved.  Our current hourly rate is £25 per hour, with any costs for documents or printing being charge at cost. 

​

We regularly work in Partnership with a group of Professional Genealogists based near The National Archives in Kew.   This Mutual Partnership means that we are also able to offer a record checking & copying service.

​

We also collaborate with Kerstin Devine, a native German speaker & qualified English/German AITI translator. Kerstin can provide German document transcripts/ translations & interpreting services should this be required as part of your research.
