Question: How do I get started?

Answer: Every family research is unique! To obtain a free estimate of our services and fees, we need as much information as you have about the family line you desire researched. We need to see all the information you have collected about this ancestral line. Include any additional information you think will help especially family traditions and stories. Make copies of any records you may have or any other documents or papers pertaining to the research problem. Send to: Rhonda G. Edwards - 445 Ingersoll St. - Coos Bay OR 97420-1420.

Question: If I send this information what will happen and how much will it cost?

Answer: I will evaluate the sent information and request more information if it is needed. If and when I have enough information, I will send, snail mail (e-mail, if requested) you a proposal of needed research steps. This proposal will state what records are needed, how the records will be obtained and the approximate cost for obtaining them and/or researching these records. We do not charge for this report.                

Question: How do I hire you to work on my family history research?

Answer: If you decide to proceed with the outline steps and wish to hire me for the research you call or mail your agreement. You will be sent a contract outlining our services and payment information for this research project. The research fees range from $25.00 to $45.00 per hour plus cost of ordered material and copies. On receipt of signed contract and deposit/payments requested, research will begin as agreed and outlined in the proposal and the contract. (To see a schedule of fees & expenses see table at the bottom of this page.)

If you are interested in our service and would like a quick start, send us your family tree by e-mail to wedwards15@earthlink.net or pasttracker1515@yahoo.com   This will give us an opportunity to review your information. Include all date and locations of births, marriages and deaths. A Fax service is also available.  (541) 269-7572 if you have problems call (541) 269-1892.
