been trying to find out about my mothers family in ireland had no luck in such a long time. no use asking family, they don't help had email today saying she would do a search for me 60 uro's an hour think it would take 2 hours would you pay that much? i really have not got anywhere with my own searches.

I wouldn't pay it - for that sort of money you could fly over and stay overnight and do a day and a half's research yourself. You'd get much more done and have the satisfaction of doing it yourself and knowing it was done properly.

All I can say is, when I started on my family history I made a similar payment for information. Two years later, when I was far more experienced, I got the same information for free by asking the right people. If I knew then.....

No I wouldn't - you can get day return flights to Dublin for less than 60 euros. Jay

You did mean 60(sixty) euros. If my maths is right and I wouldn't rely too much on it that's around £40. Somebodys on to a good thing. No I would not pay. Gloria

Have you really exhausted all your options? There's a lot of very keen people on GR who love a challenge. Why don't you put all your cards on the table?

Paul, is that an offer?????????????? Well if it is i would't say no.

Of course it's an offer Valerie .... this is why Genes Reunited exists! Nobody can promise a result - especially where Irish records are concerned - but we can give it a shot.
