COLONY Of MONTE GRANDE, ARGENTINA, Page 6
Hello my name is David Grierson - I offer to perform queries starting as low as $20.00 dollars.
Some queries are more involved, so the cost is higher, depending on your needs & how much work you're asking me to undertake for you.
Queries can be very time consuming, & many are extemely complex so therefore there is usually no such thing as a simple search, although there are exceptions.
Researching queries can take hours, days, weeks, months, even years. I spent a total of 20 years to research & find a suitable birth, & death date for the 1st Baronet of Lag. I finally came to the unmistakable conclusion, that he was born in 1657, & died on the 29th day of December, 1733.
My research fees range from $20.00 to $40.00 per hour - this depends on the type of work you are asking me to undertake, and the amount of work you are asking me to undertake - all of which is very time consuming.
I will accept a cash advance upfront for all queries - all payments are made to www.paypal.com - and the cash advance or Query fee is always non-refundable. You are paying me for my time, and research skills, and over all knowledge, inspection of the material, corrections, and consulting.
For Grayson - to Grierson lines (North American Indians), should you know your Family Tree through to Robert Grierson (aka Grayson), I will then accept an advance payment of no less than a $300.00 dollars for any work undertaken. If you are sending me your own work for a perspective quote, then you are charged a query fee for the reviewing of that same material.
I do Grierson to Grayson lines only, for Creek (Native American) research.

The Colony of Monte Grande, near Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America - Page 6 - Passenger List - Items 1-20
VESSEL: SYMMETRY - The (Reverend) JAMES DODDS' LIST & The Emigration of 213 immigrants to Form the Colony at Monte Grande in The Province of Argentina, begins with the arrival of vessel Symmetry on August 11th, 1825. I will not attempt to embellish any notions of the immigrants social standing or moral character before, nor after they arrived. Many were not married prior to their voyage, but a number of them married after their arrival with their children born out of weblock. I also understand from Iain Stewart's work, that many of the original colonists later objected to being referred to as SERVANTS! in later years destroyed their own past, which they were undoubtedly ashamed of, else why the hypocracy & the burning of the original journal concerning William Grierson's "Voyage of the Symmetry." These materials listed them in order of and by the work they did, Farmer, Blacksmith, Servant, etc. Their actions speak loudly for themselves & will be given no quarter here.
