Richard,

That's probably on par with what I paid for similar research a while 
back, but that included some travel expenses as well.  Consider the 
number of requests that they probably get.  It's not like a 150 or 200 
year old church here in the States.  There's a lot more records to go 
through, there older and therefore harder to read, and there's so much 
more history there that the requests from descendants who're spread all 
over the world by now are probably endless.

Also consider the cost and difficulty for you to go to Germany and do 
the research yourself.  That's what finally convinced me to go ahead and 
pay for it after about 9 or 10 months of contemplating.

Just my 2 cents.
