Family Tree and Research Pricing
There are two pricing paths, depending on the structure of your tree: a Direct Line Tree, which follows parental lines only, and a Custom Tree, which can include extended family. Either path can be adapted to your chosen design in the gallery.

The final pricing for your family tree depends on the scope of your project.
Direct Line Family Tree
Direct Line pricing applies to trees that begin with the youngest generation and extend upward through direct ancestors only.
The youngest (starting) generation forms the base of the bracket or waterfall layout, or the center of the ring layout. This first generation can be one person or a sibling group.
If your tree includes siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles, or multiple descendant branches, it falls under Custom Tree pricing. The same is true if your tree starts from the oldest generation rather than the youngest.
Direct Line Trees start at $215 for three to four generations and run to $560 for eight.
Custom Family Tree
Custom pricing applies to any tree that goes beyond the Direct Line structure: trees that include siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles, multiple descendant branches, or a layout that doesn't follow the youngest-at-center/start orientation.
Custom pricing is calculated as a base design fee plus a per-person rate. The base design fee covers the design framework, file setup, and layout planning required before individual names are placed.
Custom Trees start with a $200 base design fee, then add $10 per person for the first 30, $8 for the next 45, and $6 for everyone beyond 75.
