Website Existences:
From the time the site was started in 2001 I have personally spent over $1,000 to maintain and continue our genealogy research. In 2003 I was not able to continue funding the complete expense of the sit on my own and started producing products to sell. Of course this also created an additional expense that has yet to break even. In 2004 I started asking for donations to fund the site. Thanks to the generous donations of many family members we were able to upgrade to the site you now see, however this site now requires the following yearly expenses:
============================================
Website hosting/storage $120 yearly due in July.
Domain Name (bracewellfamily.com) $10 due in October.
Genealogy Research expenses:
What good is a genealogy website if we do not continue researching our family. Each year bracewellfamily.com pays to continue looking for facts on our family. Genealogy research can be conducted two ways. Free research from hearsay and internet rumors or the proper way by purchasing census records and other official documents. When documents are found or provided copies of the original must be made. All of this research cost additional money for our site. Once the website expenses have been paid the remainder is used to reimburse the following expenses.
=======================================
Photo copying averages around $50 per year.
Research can average up to $200 per year.
