Sounds to me as if the client expects this to be a records-based problem. Given the locations and time period, as well as the previous research (or "research") the client cites, that is unlikely. My advice is that, unless you and the client are up for a wide-ranging search of records and much correlation of information, steer clear. It strikes me at times that clients mistake "professional genealogist" for "magician." Denise Picard Lindgren

I would steer clear of folks that think they have done everything. I recently had someone contact me from Spain expecting me to find the history of an obscure point of land in BC with little information. Given the amount of work I did for which I will likely not be paid, I wish I had turned him down.
