I can undertake both hourly research for you or packages for more detailed reports of your family history. Hourly research is undertaken with a minimum of 2 hours.
My packages are a great way to discover your ancestors. Families can usually be traced back to 1800 and some can be traced even further back. This depends on how much you already know and also what records still survive.
I have access to all the major subscription channels online including Ancestry, Find My Past and The Genealogist and I also have access to international records for Ancestry. I live close the National Archives and the London Metropolitan Archives and I am happy to travel to Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Somerset, London, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Dorset and Kent. Other counties can also be covered by discussion.
STARTER FAMILY TREE

The packages includes: * Full report of research including the sources used and examined, birth, marriage and death references, transcriptions of certificates and transcriptions of census records found. * Copy of your family tree with the relatives that have been found. * Copies of census reports where appropriate. * Copies of up to five birth, marriage and death certificates. * A brief outline of the town or village where your ancestors lived. * Information about trades or occupations. * Usually around 20-30 pages * About 10 - 20 hours research plus report writing and editing
The Starter Report is on 100gsm paper, and can be presented in a number of ways and include images where appropriate and also where possible. I can offer a report which is spiral bound, with a clear front and back cover as part of the package and you will also be sent a pdf copy as well to read before printing, in case you wish to make any changes. You will then also be sent a final pdf copy of your report. If you would prefer a hard back book version then this can also be arranged. (Extra costs may apply)
