Services | Bayne Genealogical Research

Getting started...

Start by ordering the 'Start up package'. I will get back to you with a form for you to fill in. I will do my best to find your ancestor(s) but not everyone wants to be found. I have a really good finding rate, but there are no guarantees.
This fee is not refundable.
Once I have found your relative(s) I will contact you and we can discuss how you want to proceed and the time frame. When you commission the work by making the deposit.
I conduct the research, obtaining necessary documents like birth records, parish records etc. I will keep you updated at roughly weekly intervals during the research. I will get back to you in the event that the research is hindered for any reason, sometimes books have burned.
When the research is complete, I will finish the report and send some documents to you to check. I will then put together the full report.
The balance is due just before the project is posted. It will be emailed to you along with the copies of the documents.

Please contact me if you have any questions about a package or if you wish to customize it in any way.

Family Tree Research Packages

The Family History Research Packages include:

Family tree research report presenting the findings that include: information on each ancestor researched such as where and when they were born, married and died and family tree charts.

The research is presented in a digital report (.pdf) detailing the research process, including the sources used and methodology worked by, the proof that the people researched are your ancestors.
Transcripts and copies of the sources used, including birth records, parish records etc.
Glossary of genealogy and swedish historic terms explained.
You are welcome to include details about your immediate family and photographs.

The main goal is to trace back over 200 years, to the late 1700s or early 1800s. If possible, there is an option to go even further, depending on surviving records, (additional fees apply, contact me for more information).

The report is presentet in pdf-format but can be made into a hard cover book. Please contact me for more information.

Genealogical research to write the family chronicle

"I paid Christina Bayne to do some research for me in March 2016. I was very pleased with her work. She found a key document--from Denmark, no less--which no one else found. (Americans think that Ancestry.com and Family Search cover all bases. Not true!) Her input was more than just combing databases and finding documents. She suggested new avenues to explore, which turned out to be quite interesting. Christina has a genuine interest, drive, and intuitive understanding of genealogy that elevates her above a robotic "search engine." I have learned that paying a professional genealogist to go the "extra mile" is worthwhile. Christina is exemplary in that regard."
