[Genealib] Research fees/Obituary Requests/Photograph copies

[Tim Herrmann]

Niki,

We get a pretty fair number of research requests and have found it simplist just to emplace a per-hour fee of $10, with a minimum of $5.  

This seems to be a reasonable fee to us, even a bit low considering how labor intensive a lot of these requests are, and it's high enough to keep the truly massive requests from flowing in.  You know the ones, the folks who want you to do all their research for them or are engaged in fishing expeditions.

It works pretty well for us, and not very many people at all complain about it.

Tim
