now is the time to take advantage of these specials.  

Book production and Artistic Family Trees are included in the Custom Research package only.  



Per Hour Research

Per hour research is for specific items only, not for general research. For instance, if you need an obituary and know the
death date (within a 3-month period), this would be the best deal for you. Expenses per hour include travel to local
repositories in Athens, AL; compilation of findings; copies and certificates up to $5.00; and other services such as
transcription and digitizing.


I charge a minimum of $40.00 per hour for research, travel time, and compilation time.  This price includes $5.00 for minor expenses such as copying, print-outs, etc.  Any of these expenses over $5.00 will be invoiced. All research will be pre-approved by the client and will be contracted on an hourly basis and paid in advance.  

Invoiced amounts due must be paid before research results will be mailed to the client.

Expenses will be invoiced for copies, photos, postage, certificates, and other hard copy material (over the initial $5.00 per hour) on the following basis:
  • Computer printouts (i.e. online records)--$.75/page
  • Computer generated photos (color or B&W)--$1.00/pg
  • Other copies and photos--at cost
  • Birth, death, or marriage certificates--at cost
  • Digital services available;
    • copies to CD--$2.00 plus postage;
    • $1.00 per scanned item 
  • Postage--$2.00 minimum


If overnight travel is necessary, I will discuss charges on an individual basis; however, charges will include $100.00 per night away in addition to actual cost of room, board, and mileage.   Hourly fee will be charged only for travel time, research, and compilation time.

Other mileage is $.25 per mile.  Hourly fee accumulates during travel.

Transcription Services—I will transcribe and type those hard to read old documents for $5.00 per original or microfilmed page.  Extremely small pages will be discounted at my discretion

      Book prices begin at $50.00 for up to 50 pages; color pages extra.  Ask about volume discounts, and additional page prices.

      Secure online payment available with PayPal. Payments may also be made by cashier's check or money order made payable to “Kristi AuBuchon”.

 

* "travel" in the special offer sections above includes travel within the designated distance from Athens, AL.  Further distances charged at the regular rate listed above.

 Fee changes effective 12/06/2009.
