Dear Mr. Soergel,
I have seen that you have been searching for Wilhelmine Hermerding.
May I offer you some help? I am a professional researcher. However, even if you do not intend to use my service, I would still be willing to give you a number of valuable hints. During the last years, I have been dealing with Local History around Hannover, where I live and where I have done both historical and genealogical research.
I have gained a firm grip on my "working tools" and special knowledge about this region.
If you want to contact me, I can assure you that you are under no obligation whatsoever. It was just that I saw you in search of and thought a suggestion of help might be a
good idea...
The costs of my work are:
Genealogy
Research in Hanover (town and nearby surroundings):
- time: US-$ 35/h
- copies: US-$ 0.50
- copies of records: US-$ 1.50
- additional work: US-$ 40/h
- archive-fee
As a rule, research projects vary. Some are short-term, some long-term, some aim to get a few details and others can be very extensive. If a research project tends to be extensive and if it requires a long-term archive research, I will send bills as soon as an amount of roughly 500 $ is reached. This way, the whole projects is more manageable and both I and you as my customer stay in control of the costs. The research project may be continued, extended or modified to suit your wishes. For "normal" research, I send the bills out only after the work has been finished.
If you have any questions or queries, please feel free to contact me.
I personally have to admit that although I understand English well, I am having difficulties in expressing myself in this language. Thus a kind friend of mine is translating my letters. Occasionally, I dare to write a few lines by myself, which in that case are not brilliant English, as you may imagine. I would just like to ask you to be patient with me. Of course,
the translation only covers phrases, and individual data are kept strictly confidential.
Yours sincerely,
Christoph Haupt
