‘History remembers only the celebrated, genealogy remembers them all.’
~ Laurence Overmire
Have you hit a ‘brick wall’ with your genealogy research?
Are you interested in adding some leaves to your family tree but don’t know where to begin?
Or have some of the leaves on your family tree fallen and you’re unsure how to continue?
Need advice on how to search for your ancestors using Census Returns, Probate Records or Parish Records?
Or would you love to unearth more about your family history in York and beyond?
As an experienced genealogist and professional historical researcher – I work with knowledge and enthusiasm alongside my clients in the search for their elusive ancestors and to overcome those genealogy ‘brick walls’.
The archives I haunt with frequency in and around Yorkshire and beyond include just SOME of the following:
YORK:
The Borthwick Institute
York Explore and Archives
Research Room of York Family History Society
YORKSHIRE:
Hull History Centre
The Treasure House Beverley
North Yorkshire Archives
Scarborough Library
West Yorkshire History Centre
SCOTLAND:
National Records of Scotland Edinburgh
The City Archives Mitchell Library Glasgow
National Library of Scotland Edinburgh
ELSEWHERE:
The National Archives Richmond
London Metropolitan Archives
Norfolk Record Office
Although I undertake genealogical research on the instructions of a client – I usually require a commission of a minimum of four (4) hours for the study of an ancestral trail.
This may include document transcription and photographic images.
However, as every research commission is as unique as the person who is requesting it – our informal chat by way of my no-obligation initial consultation will ensure that my time as a genealogical researcher is productive for both you and I.
