ABOUT ME

I have over 30 years of experience in conducting my own research and I am working towards a Higher Certificate with the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies. I am an AGRA Associate (Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives) and as such I abide by their code of conduct and ethics. I am also committed to continuing professional development.  I bring a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in tracing family trees. My background working for Suffolk Libraries for three decades has further honed my methodical and organized approach to research.

​

I have a passion for family history and social history, and I take great joy in immersing myself in the research process, and my commitment to being extremely methodical means that no detail will go unexplored.

​

I have access to a wide range of resources and databases to aid in my research, including:

​

• Birth, marriage & death indexes

• Census returns

• Parish records

• Wills & probate

• Directories and newspaper archives.        

• Military records

 

Whether you are seeking to trace your family lineage, discover fascinating stories from the past, or compile a detailed family history report, I can help with:

​

• Brick walls

• One off searches

• Family tree construction and bigger projects

• Tracking down births, marriages, deaths

• Census returns

• Newspaper archives

• Suffolk Archives visits

• Visits to Suffolk or Essex Churches or Villages

 

I offer a professional and friendly service, and you can trust that I will approach your project with utmost care and attention to detail, ensuring that the information I uncover is accurate and reliable.

​

If you are interested in my services or have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be very happy to discuss your family history project in more detail and provide you with a quote based on the scope of the research involved.
