Family Tree Research

I’m here to help you discover the fascinating story of your family’s past. Think of me as your personal history detective, I love diving into both online resources and local archives to piece together the unique puzzle of your family tree.

My passion is finding those special original documents that tell your family’s story, and I make sure every discovery is carefully documented so you can be confident in the research. Whether you’re curious about a specific family mystery or want to explore your entire family history, I’m here to help guide you through the journey.

Brick Walls

We all know that feeling – you’re tracing your family tree and suddenly hit a mysterious dead end. Those tricky genealogy brick walls can feel so frustrating. Perhaps your ancestor seems to vanish from records, their name keeps changing, or you just can’t find that crucial piece of evidence to connect the dots.

But here’s the exciting part – these brick walls often hide the most fascinating stories waiting to be discovered. As an experienced genealogy detective, I love tackling these challenging puzzles. I’ll carefully analyse what we already know, think creatively about where else we might find clues, and explore those often-overlooked record collections that could hold the key to your family mystery.

Let me help you break through that brick wall with:

Deep analysis of existing records to spot hidden clues
Creative research strategies to work around missing documents
Access to specialised databases and archive collections
Experience with unusual or alternative record types
Applying reconstitution techniques to rebuild family units
Undertaking negative space analysis techniques to identify gaps in research
Knowledge of historical context that might explain those gaps

Sometimes the most rewarding discoveries come from breaking through these brick walls. Ready to solve your family history mystery?

Every family history journey is unique, and so is the way I approach your research goals. To ensure you receive the best value and the most accurate results, all work is tailored specifically to your family’s history and personal requirements. I offer a range of services, from focused hourly research to comprehensive project packages designed to fit various needs.

I believe keeping you in the loop is really important. You’ll never be left wondering what’s happening and I’ll share regular updates along the way. I can provide a comprehensive report or a shorter version and both come with a detailed family tree. Please contact me for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your specific requirements. Following our discussion, I will provide you with an estimated cost based on the expected complexity and time involved. Note: Additional expenses for travel and/or the purchase of official certificates will always be discussed and agreed with you beforehand.
