Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at frances.cairns@bigpond.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
At Family Fascination, we pride ourselves on our personalized approach to genealogy research. We work closely with each client to understand their unique needs and goals, and we tailor our research to meet those needs. Our ultimate goal is to help our clients uncover their family's unique story. Family stories relating to your relatives, information about a property and the people that lived there, and arrivals to Australia are just some of the research that can usually be found, providing answers both expected and unexpected.
Getting started with Family Fascination is easy. Simply contact us to outline your goals and needs for the project, and we'll develop a customized plan for your research. Please provide as much information as possible, such as birth, marriage and death certificates, and any other documents you may have relating to the search. From there, we'll commence uncovering your family's history. If required certificates of birth, marriage and death may be able to be obtained on your behalf if available. Results can vary depending on availability of records.
We take accuracy very seriously at Family Fascination. We use a variety of reliable sources to ensure that our research is as accurate as possible. Additionally, we verify all information through multiple sources to ensure that it is correct before including it in your family tree. There are a lot of online free sites as well as subscription based ones that you can try yourself, however not all information therein has been verified as true. Also, a lot of records have not been digitised and may require in person visit to places, such as archives, libraries and cemeteries.
We have an hourly rate and the research will be terminated when your results are available and/or when you have reached your budget figure. Please note while every effort is made to obtain a result within certain time frames, there are times when this is not possible due to unavailability of records or lack of information. There will also be additional costs associated with obtaining copies of records if required and any disbursements. An invoice will be sent to you after completion or after each block of work for lengthy research projects.
