Irish Heritage Centers

Irish Heritage Centers Rate Structures
Since the beginning of this year, research charges at IGP centers have been standardized. Centers undertake two types of commission:

Full family history research leading to a detailed report on a particular family
Searches of specified records for specified items of information.

FULLSEARCH
When a Centre receives an inquiry, an application form is supplied to the client and a preliminary assessment fee of £1O to £15 is quoted. On the return of the application form and fee, an assessment is made of the information likely to be turned up by a search and the time such a search is likely to take. A quotation is then sent to the client. It is difficult to generalize about the cost of a full search since the amount of information available can vary enormously from one family to another. The lower end of the scale would be around the £150 mark.

For this, a client could expect to receive a pedigree chart detailing, generation by generation, the family's descent from the earliest ancestor located to the beginning of the present century. Facsimile documents, maps, gravestone inscriptions and other corroborative evidence would be included with the report. Some background information about the locality - history, social customs and a history of the surname would complete the package.

RECORD SEARCHES
The following selection of charges should give a clear indication of the range and cost of other services supplied by IGP centers:

Civil Records (1864-1921): A search for one record (birth, death or marriage) costs £10 if the Centre has civil records computerized. If not computerized, the charge is £15 per ten year period.
Church Records (from starting date up to 1900): A search for one record (birth, death or marriage) costs £1O if the records have been computerized or £25 per ten year period if not computerized.
A search for one household in the 1901 census costs £10.
Tithe Applotment Books: A search for one surname in a given parish costs £1O; a county-wide search costs £20.
A printout of all the information in the document is supplied in all cases.
