Has anyone ever hired someone to search their ancestry? I think I have reached a dead end with my own searches - I could go back farther or find out more about known individuals but unfortunately, a lot of the places I would need to search are only open when I'm working. I can't take days off because I'm American living in England and my holidays are preciously split between my family back home and time alone with my husband - I have none to spare. I have one branch in particular I want to know more about - already searched them back to the late 1700s but found some people who specialize in the area they lived in so I'm thinking I could get better results with hiring one of them.

Just wondering how it's usually priced, if you got better results than your own searches, etc.

it is not cheap

one thing you could do is find your self a micho fiche reader ( ebay) and buy the micho fiches of the parishes you wish to look at  this wont be cheap. you buy them thought the local record ofiice

and what about join the family history socity of the area you are interested in they might be able to help or know some one you could pay

happy hunting
