Description

Based in Cambridge, UK, my genealogical research services aim to:

  • find your ancestors
  • break down ‘brick-walls’ you’ve hit in your own research
  • uncover details of specific family members
  • develop your family tree

You may also be interested in:

  • checks concerning your own Ancestry online research for certain branches of your tree.
  • an assessment and/or helping hand sorting out your genetic genealogy/ autosomal DNA matches.
  • local archives support: you live outside the UK or at some distance from Cambridgeshire and need help pinning down some sources and records located in physical archives near me and perhaps taking photographs of relevant findings (subject to copyright).

I live close to Cambridge University libraries/colleges/ archives and to Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire and Suffolk county archives, so can visit to access and research original genealogical sources, documents and content which are not available/ accessible in digital format.  The British Library, London Guildhall Library and London Metropolitan Archives are also within easy reach and I can arrange visits to the National Archives at Kew and other archives.

Please get in touch via the contact link at the bottom of this page or via my website form.
