How to begin Family History research.
There are almost as many ways to research your family as there are families themselves. But certain basic concepts have been found over time to be the most productive in the results achieved. Consulting proven sources - but only in the correct sequence - will yield the best results when measured against time, energy and cost inputs.   

 What is certain is that for the amateur or beginner making time to learn these concepts and become familiar with the main sources will always prove worthwhile.  

Starting out on your journey of discovery without this preparatory work is almost certain to lead to frustration and even to abandoning the task before it has properly begun.   

We are happy to meet you, face to face, for a consultation lasting for up to two hours at our offices. Apart from the fee for this consultation there is no further obligation on the client.

What we do
Where necessary we will take on commissions without an initial consultation but emphasise that more progress and cost savings may well be secured by an initial face to face meeting.

Following the first meeting many do elect to commission us to undertake research on their behalf. Others  decide to progress things themselves.  

We guide clients by occasional phone calls after their initial consultation.  We do not provide a phone inquiry service in isolation as we have learnt that this is not satisfactory to either side. 

Please feel free to contact us by email or phone to discuss your professional requirements which will have our full and immediate attention.
