GRC specializes in the British Isles, North America, Australia and New Zealand
     Genealogical Research Consultants (GRC) provides quality genealogical research at reasonable prices. Because of our expertise, independent structure and low overhead, we can begin and report on research projects for as little as $70--or two hours of research at $35 per hour.
     GRC researchers specialize in conducting genealogical research in English-speaking areas with particular emphasis on the British Isles, North America, Australia and New Zealand. (Requests for genealogical research in non-English speaking areas are usually contracted out at different fees to other genealogists who specialize in these areas.) Our genealogists have access to the world's largest genealogical and family history repository: the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition, our worldwide network of professional associates allows us to conduct searches of original or unpublished genealogical and historical records in most English-speaking areas of the world. (However, searches in Western Europe and Australia can cost more than $35.00 per hour.)
