I think this is the answer (from their special offer page):


"We want to caution prospective buyers that we are, at this stage of our lives, strictly Internet researchers. If you are a competent researcher who knows how to properly use Ancestry.com and other top genealogical subscription services, and if your "brick wall" is in the very early 1800's or before, chances are we won't be able to help you.

We make this offer on Ebay quite frequently."

And f rom the rates pages: "We are holding the line on our $12 per hour Internet research rate"

Dear List,

Well, I am on a roll with questions this morning. I received several
Cyndi's List digest emails today, she must be behind. Anyway, I noticed one
for a professional genealogist business that is run by husband and wife and
they advertise that they can do research for the entire U.S. Their rates
are very low at $12.00 per hour and they offer some pretty neat incentives
like you can only pay for 1 hour at a time and then when you have
accumulated 10 hours of research the hourly rate drops to $10.00 per hour.

My question is this: How can they offer to conduct genealogy research for
the entire country for $12.00 per hour? Assuming of course they are
reputable. Also, how can you accomplish anything in 1 hour?

I am putting their site link below, would love to know how they can
accomplish this in a professional manner.

What do you guys think?
