Single Marriage – One marriage to search. Will include the names of the bride and groom, the names of the bride and groom’s parents, the date and place of the bride and groom’s marriage. (Marriages of the parents will be counted as additional single marriages and billed as such.)

Direct Lineage – A straight line of either a husband or wife back to the immigrant ancestor. This will include each couple, their date and place of marriage, and their parents’ names and location of immigrants in France. Price for direct lineages will be determined by the number of generations found times the rates for research as applicable.

Five Generation Ancestral Chart – Standard five generation ancestral chart of 31 ancestors with 8 marriages found. The last column of names will give parents’ names only: no marriages as they will start a new five generation chart. NOTE: The Five Generation Chart will not contain births or deaths. If a birth or death is requested, it will be treated as a SEPARATE request and billed accordingly.

Microfilm and photocopies are available at an additional charge. Photocopies are $0.25 cents each and Microfilm copies are $1.50 each. Please identify what copies you would like in the “Other Information” section.

For other research, the price quoted will depend on the specific research.
