Every family tracing search is different, so the cost will depend on the circumstances and how much information is available.

Before any work begins, I will talk through your search with you, explain what may be possible and give you a clear idea of the likely costs involved.

What affects the cost?

The time and work involved can vary depending on:
 

• How much information you already have

• How old the information is

• Whether records or information need to be traced from the UK or overseas

• How difficult the search is

• Whether previous attempts to find the person have been unsuccessful

• Whether additional research or enquiries are needed

What if the search is unsuccessful?

A family tracing search cannot always guarantee a result. People may have changed their name, moved abroad, records may be incomplete, or there may simply not be enough information available to identify them.
 

I will be honest with you about what I think may be possible before you decide whether to proceed.

Before you start

You do not need to have all the answers before getting in touch.
 

The first step is simply to tell me what you know about the person you are looking for. We can then discuss your circumstances, what information you have and what the next steps might be.
