Family genealogy

Meaning -
looking for your ancestors

To start, we'll need data of ancestors, prefarably, older than 100 year. This means your parents, grandparents and/or great grandparents. We need this because of the privacy law in Belgium. It prohibits us to acces archives younger than approximately 100 years old.

Do you know the law about openness and accessibility of archives in Belgium?

REGULATION OF OUR CIVIL REGISTRY

- Deathcertificates public after 50 years

- Marriagecertificates public after 75 years.
- Birthcertificates public after 100 years.
 

REGULATION POPULATION REGISTER


- After 120 years they become open and accessible.

Every genealogical search is different - it's complete custom to the research question. It is therefore impossible to give you one clear price. The nature, technicity, complexity, distance, size, etc are all factors that determine the price.


Having said that, we do offer some formules that will give you a headstart.

A specific question about your pedigree

Do you have a specific question about your ancestors? Ofcours we can't really price that just yet. Sometimes a little bit of advice already goes a long way. Other times some hard work in the dusty archives are needed. One hour, a day, a week ... Don't be afraid to ask your question and we'll go from there !
