This package includes all direct ancestors of one grandparent: great grandparents, GG grandparents, GGG grandparents, etc, plus all children born to each generation, and any additional spouses. In-depth research of children who are not yours/ your grandparent’s direct ancestors will not be included, but baptisms, entries on censuses and any other information while they remain at the family home will be included. This differs from the ‘single surname’ option in that your grandparent has two parents, four grandparents, eight great great grandparents, and so on. It will therefore include more ancestral lines and many more individual people. You can see the difference between these two options by comparing the example chart below (following the paternal grandmother’s line) with that above.

If I were doing this for my own paternal grandmother’s ancestry back to those living in 1837/1841, it would include my grandmother and four siblings, my great grandparents plus a second marriage for my great grandfather following the death of his wife, resulting in a living arrangement that included blending the family with the second wife’s niece and nephew. Then there are two sets of GG grandparents, and a total of twelve children, and four sets of GGG grandparents, with a total of thirty-four children. Eight GGGG grandparents, born between 1778 and 1794, also survived until the 1850s/1860s and would also be included. Between them they had thirty-five children, bringing the total of individual people in this part of my own tree to 111 from Leeds, Norwich, London, York, Staffordshire and North Yorkshire. Yours may be larger or smaller, and you could choose to limit the number of generations.

Price
Guide price: £700 – £900, depending on number of generations and availability of records for all lines. This is based on about twenty to twenty-five hours of research and report writing. Unavailability of records resulting in inability to trace any of the lines would reduce the cost.
