Standard Research Services
What to expect?
Every situation is unique - an unusual name will always stand out more than a common one (which will need careful attention) and a family that stayed put in one location will be easier to find than one that moved around frequently.
Please contact me with as much information as you can about what you already know, and what you hope to find out, and I will give you an estimate of what this might entail.
-
Trace your family history back to 1837 using civil registration and census returns.
-
Take your roots back further to 1700 or before using all the sources of the 200 package, plus the additional resource of parish records.
-
Fill in gaps, unravel tangled lines caused by common names, or transcend walls using additional records such as wills etc.
Enhanced Services
