A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.

Cost depends on the type of work and how much field time it needs. Records research is often a flat fee; surveillance is usually billed hourly plus expenses such as mileage. You'll get a written estimate before work begins. See what a private detective costs.
