Service Options
Two ways to begin your family search.
Begin with a short free assessment so we can identify the pilgrimage centre most likely to hold your family's records. Once your case is confirmed as suitable, you choose a package and pay the full package fee. The fee covers everything — local research, fair payment to the hereditary priest who holds the register, transcription, translation and your secure family archive. £150 covers the completed research if no register can be located.

What your package covers
Your package includes the standard local researcher work, reasonable local travel, the customary payment made to the record-holding priest for their time, knowledge and assistance, evidence collection, transcription, translation and your secure digital family archive. This is normal practice — the same arrangement families make when they visit India and engage a priest directly.
If your case requires unusually extensive travel, work at multiple pilgrimage centres, several unrelated family branches, specialist translation or anything beyond the standard package scope, we will explain the options and obtain your approval before any additional charge. Bahi Heritage does not own or employ the hereditary priests — payments are made for their time and assistance.
