‘The right question is usually more important than the right answer.’
~ Plato

Are you intrigued or perplexed about your ancestors?
Or are you in search of that final resting place of an ancestor from Yorkshire or beyond?
As a professional genealogist with an interest in tombstone symbolism – I could be just THE family history sleuth you need by your side.
If you are interested in working with me – please take a moment or three to read through a few of THE most asked questions.
Have another question? Please ask away!
are you for hire?
Absolutely! If you interested in working with me to undertake research on your behalf – please take a read of the following:

It is through the learning of your ancestors by genealogical study and with the uncovering of family history that we can come to understand, and accept the inherited grief and trauma of our family stories.
