Hi Duncan

The Birnies back to the 1600s

Objective: To take the Birnie line back from William (1765/6-1829?) to the early to mid 1600s and further if possible. We won't know if that's the case until we research it but we can see a possible pathway to the late 1600s already. Each family would be outlined with baptisms and locations and additional marriages where applicable.

• Research time: 60 hours with 9 hours free plus disbursements.
• Final results to be incoporated into the Birnie chronicle.
• Advice to be given on important North Aberdeenshire places to visit, liaising with you along the way as required.
• Sorry we will have to make a charge for the additional time and printing costs involved in absorbing all the additional work to the Birnie chronicle including adding maps, photos, location details etc and a selection of the photos and information you gather which might include amendments to the latest further research case. We will only charge £75 for this.

Assignment would be:

51 x £32.50 plus about £75 in disbursements and £75 towards some of the additional work and printing, keeping the instalments at £451.88 as outlined by email.

Subtotal = £1,657.50+£75 + £75
Total=£1,807.50
Monthly instalments=£451.88 x 4.

Please make a payment of the first instalment when you can so that work can be continued, followed by further instalments on 1 Sep, 1 Oct and 1 Nov. If this is a problem, please advise so that the schedule can be amended.

I hope this is acceptable but please let me know if you have any issues with this.

Many thanks and best wishes, Amy
