Catriona

I didn’t know that I was going to get such a wonderfully presented piece of work. Although I knew most of the bare bones of the family tree, it is so interesting to have all the details and documents to back it all up. It is a lovely thing to keep and to pass on to the family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our genealogy research services
Is my information in safe hands?
The information we collect: Name, address, email address and telephone number.
The information we do not collect: Your credit card or debit card information. This is processed by PayPal in a secure environment providing you with maximum security.
Using your information: This is used purely to contact you either by telephone or email following your enquiry. Your information is NEVER shared with anyone outside of Links Genealogy Limited.
Your research: We will retain a copy of your research. If you prefer for this to be removed from our system please make this request via our contact form. We keep copies so you can order additional copies for family or extend the research at a later date.
Are you confident of tracing my ancestors?
Yes, with the extensive records available to Links Genealogy Limited it would be a rare occurrence if we were unable to trace your 19th and 20th century ancestors anywhere within England and Wales.
It is essential however to point out that positive results cannot be guaranteed. No researcher can promise to find an ancestor or document unless they already have the results. There are many reasons why births were not registered, people changed their names or gave false or misleading information about their origins.
We will carry out preliminary searches first to ensure we can start the journey before accepting any payment. Should we come to a halt due to unavailable records, we will either research another line of your family or make a pro rata refund. A minimum charge of £50 for research time along with the cost price of any documents purchased will be deducted from any deposit paid.
What if my ancestors come from overseas?
We only undertake research using English, Scottish and Welsh records. If during the course of our research we come across an ancestor from another country, we can only recommend that you pursue this line using a researcher based in the country of origin. Should this happen we will adjust our quoted price to reflect the work carried out to that point.
What isn't included in the packages?
The packages concentrate on your ancestors from whom you directly descend. This is not the same as all relatives (cousins, aunts, uncles etc.). Your direct ancestor’s siblings/children’s names are included on the charts when this information can be reasonably found, but these siblings/children are not traced forward.
Research within roughly the last 100 years is subject to data protection rules, and it may not be possible to locate certain information within this period. Most clients already know this information and can provide it to be included.
What happens if records cannot be found?
On rare occasions it is not possible to trace a surname line back as far as our package indicates. Should this be the case you will be contacted by email and offered the choice of either having another line researched, or paying a reduced charge. You have the peace of mind that we will either research another line of your family or make a pro rata payment refund/adjustment.
Disclaimer
Please be aware that by their nature, surviving family records are often misleading or inaccurate. Many historical records contain illegible handwriting, multiple variations of surname spellings and a variety of errors. Links Genealogy Limited make every reasonable effort to verify the findings of our research, however while the quality of our research is of a high standard, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the findings where evidence is unreliable or contradictory. If you believe you have spotted a mistake in our research findings then please contact us with the full details.
