For general enquiries, it is a difficult task to institute an in-depth search without knowing a place-name for your ancestor when researching the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Most records are arranged by town, township, or county locations. In some minor circumstances we have  few limited province-wide indexes that at the least will give us a distribution of the family name and most of these constitute pre-1900 information; at best, a pioneer ancestor might be located. This is always first priority, to locate the family, and these index searches are covered by the minimum retainer.

If you do know a place- name, you’ll receive some research and additional research suggestions based on information you’ve supplied. In this case, the minimum retainer covers evaluation of your information, a preliminary research plan, implementation of some basic research strategies and evaluation of those research results in the Report.
