Pre-You (18 Thomas Telford Rd, Langholm, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, DG13 0AP) intend to supply you with the results of genealogical investigations in the form of either electronic PDF documents or printed family tree charts and books. Local family history research results will be supplied in Microsoft Word or PDF format.
The main characteristics of the products are outlined on our website at http://wdiscovermyfamilytree.co.uk. Your submitted order indicates that you have reviewed and satisfied yourself in respect of the characteristics of each Product. We offer a personalised service so it is impossible to predict precisely what the outcome will be – every investigation is unique. However, a typical search, for example, should result in a factual report, outlining all details from Statutory certificates, census returns and parish registers. We would intend to trace a line back to the 1840s period (or earlier) within the allocated time. We cannot guarantee that we will find every ancestor – factors such as illegitimacy, particular parish, or individuals with similar names and dates that make it impossible to identify the correct individual. We will explore all scenarios to try and find as many ancestors as possible.
Fees are packaged into four categories to reflect the amount of research time involved and the customer’s end product:
• Discovery Report: from £70 GBP (includes a PDF report of direct ancestor lines)
• Endeavour Package: £340 GBP (One Surname: includes a printed family tree chart, preservation tube, printed report within a presentation folder, flash drive with personal family tree GEDCOM file)

• Adventure Package: Priced individually per customer’s requirements.
• Local Family History: £7 GBP per half hour (minimum charge) Additional time charged accordingly.
The above fees include package and posting costs to UK addresses. Overseas addresses are subject to additional shipping costs only.

• When we have agreed your purchase, we will send you payment details.
• Contact us for a quotation if you require a specialist service or tailored package. We will email you details of prices and payment methods.
• Payment may also be made by Bank transfer – contact Pre-You for details and instructions.
• Full payment is due in advance to secure your booking, with the exception of: Endeavour and Resolution packages where 50% of the fee is charged in advance: the remainder will be invoiced upon completion and ready to deliver to the customer. Any additional charges to fees as advertised will be agreed with the customer prior to carrying out the work. Fees for local history research shall be agreed in advance with the customer including payment terms e.g. percentage split in advance or on completion.
We undertake to complete your order within 28 days (or sooner). This is fully dependent on demand. Once you order a product, we will contact you via email within 24 hours to confirm a booking date and timescale.
Nothing in this Agreement will affect your legal rights as a consumer. In the event that you are not satisfied with the product we will endeavour to rectify the situation accordingly. If a typing error has occurred in a report, we will correct this free of charge if this error was made by us. Family tree charts will be proofed by the customer for accuracy of information (supplied by them) before going to print. After that point, if a chart requires re-printing, an additional printing fee will be charged. We offer a highly personalised service, so any dissatisfaction will be dealt with immediately. We offer a full refund if we cannot discover any of your ancestors (sometimes we are unable to find a family – it happens). If our search only yields a small number of ancestors, we reserve the right to reduce our fee to reflect a reduced result. We would expect to discover at least 50% of your ancestors to justify our fees e.g. a search of direct ancestors should yield 30 ancestors, we would therefore expect to find a minimum of 15 of them.
