Non-Members Extended Research Service

• This service is carried out by an experienced team and is available for Members and Non-Members.
• Requests will be answered in order of receipt and there may be some delay. Clearly state what you wish us to investigate.
• Please upload an Ancestry Chart (also known as a Pedigree Chart) and one or more Family Group Sheets for those you are researching together with copies of all relevant certificates, etc. you hold.
• The hourly fee includes limited copying and postal charges – email is more efficient and cost-effective.
• You need to decide the number of hours of research you wish to pay for.
• As it is often impossible to determine the number of hours of research required, we usually recommend two hours to start but we are happy to begin with one hour.
• At the end of that time we send a report, often with digital or paper images, and advise whether more work is required.
• The cost is $50.00 per hour with a minimum of one hour.
• If you have any questions, please contact us at: research@gsv.org.au
