Genealogy research in the UK
Do you have British ancestors?
Do you need help with genealogy research in the UK?
Would you like to find out more about your family history?
I can help you locate people and places and put together a family tree going back generations, until as far as records allow.
Do you know where your ancestors came from?
There are lots of different places in the UK to find out information about your family, some of it is available online and some of it has to be viewed in person and by appointment only.
It can help you identify specific individuals or family trends. So you can find out:
- What they did
- What talents you may have inherited!
- Where they lived
- What land and property they owned
Charts showing ancestors, descendants, relationships, documented facts and more.
Reports
Reports showing significant individuals as well as surnames.
Books or a website
Your family tree could become a book (printed or electronic) or a personal website for your family.
Visiting places your ancestors have lived or records offices
I can arrange visits within the UK to find birth places, graves or to view genealogical resources including birth registrations, marriage and death notifications alongside wills and estates information.
