The project cost consists of three categories of expenses:
Work Hours
The amount of work time required depends on:
●The specific tasks involved
●The volume of initial data
●The preservation status and accessibility of archival collections
Travel
The need, location, and duration of travel depend on:
●The goals and desired results of the research
●The storage conditions of archives and the preservation status of documents
Technical Expenses
This includes copying documents in archives, as well as designing and producing reports, books, and genealogical charts
●The cost of copying depends on the tasks set, the preservation of documents, and the conditions for copying in the archives
●The format and cost of the final presentation are determined by the volume of materials and the chosen type of presentation.
The total cost of the project is calculated based on these parameters.
For large-scale research projects, the work is divided into stages. Generally, as the search progresses, new names, circumstances, and unknown stories in the family history are discovered. Therefore, each stage of work is adjusted based on the results of the previous stages. The contract specifies a fixed price for each stage of work.
The following rates provide a general guideline:
●Consultation and assessment of search prospects — free of charge.
●Remote search for one individual or multiple family members — €300-1500.
●Express search in the archives of a single city or region for a specific question or for the history of a single family over 50-70 years, confirmation of ancestors’ nationality and citizenship (excluding complex cases) — approximately €2,500.
●In-depth search in the archives of 2-3 cities or regions for a complex question, extensive biography, or the history of a single family over 100-150 years — from €4,500.
●Comprehensive family history research or complex search cases, including on-site work — from €9,000.
●Exceptionally complex and extensive search projects — by arrangement.
Depending on the specific task, intermediate and combined rates may be available.
The more initial information available, the faster the search progress!

"We knew next to nothing about our ancestors as our grandfather didn’t really talk about them and our dad couldn't give much information. We assumed that all documents had vanished during WWII. BUT! Pyotr was able to successfully restore the entire lineage from the end of the 18th century till the present day - with various documents on where and how our ancestors lived, what they did, etc...."
"... Mr. Rempel conducted an investigation in many Russian archives and, like a detective, he was able to reconstruct the extraordinary and dramatic life path of my great-grandfather... He has also traced the life paths of my ancestors over 400 years, starting from the 16th century, and found among other their grievance letters which tell about their household, disobedience to authorities, aspirations and worries..."
"Many documents were found, from which the real story emerged; it was possible to imagine how these people lived, what they dreamed of, what they knew and were able to do..."
"My request was done surprisingly quickly and for a very reasonable price. I was impressed by his professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to answer all my questions..."
How did they live in the country of origin? What were they doing? What did they own? What nationality did they have?
The archives contain documents about almost every person who lived in the last 300 years. We just need to find the evidence!
Since 1990, I have been working on private commissions in the archives of the former Russian Empire, the USSR, Germany and other countries .
I can find information and documents relating to the lives of your ancestors or people you are interested in, confirm or refute family legends, and reveal the secrets of the past. I take on the most difficult search tasks — finding information using incomplete and indirect source data. In most cases — with a guarantee of a positive result.

I work in archives without intermediaries.

Searching for information and documents in archives is the main direction of my work. I undertake the most complex research in state, departmental and special archives of many countries...
“We don’t know anything”, “It was a forbidden topic”, “Nobody remembered about them”, “They were afraid to talk”, “Those who remembered died”, “All documents were lost”, “I don’t know where they came from”...
Almost every family had “lost people” - missing people, disappeared in prisons and camps, died under occupation, disappeared in combat. There were people whose memory was deliberately erased from the family...
It is almost impossible to find a family whose history does not include murders or suicides, robberies, violence, forgeries, as well as arrests, trials, prisons and hard labor...
