Brambill, Deborah

Description

I am an experienced genealogist, family history researcher and local historian based in Nottinghamshire.

I have a particular interest in the East Midlands counties of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. I can help you with:​

– Family research on one or more surname branches

– Bespoke projects

– Review of existing research

– Record look-ups and research at regional archives

– Transcription of old documents

– DNA analysis

Nottinghamshire Archives and the University of Nottingham’s Manuscripts and Special Collections archive are within easy reach. I am also conveniently located to access archives in Derbyshire and Lincolnshire as well as being able to do research at national repositories such as The National Archives.

I have a deep interest in our social history and love exploring the records left by our ancestors. That is why I know that each family’s back story is unique. Putting research into context is key to bringing those stories alive. Discovering the events that influenced a person’s life and where they lived is vital to deepening our understanding.

I am committed to the highest genealogical standards and on-going professional development. To this end, I gained the Higher Certificate from the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies (IHGS) in 2024 and the IHGS Diploma in Genealogy in 2025. I am also an Associate member of AGRA (Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives).
