Genealogy can be serious detective
work and depends on three capabilities
Knowing where to find the information
Painstaking searching and a lot of drudgery
Solving some quite complex problems
We have these capabilities and can
find your family history in
Biographical research brings
genealogy to life by telling more about the individual or individuals
concerned. We can uncover facts about
people from innumerable sources, and although some of these sources are
becoming available on the Internet, these are just the tip of an iceberg. Genealogy is intricately linked to biography, because
an essential ingredient of understanding a person is an understanding of their
roots.
We can undertake a full
investigation of a person’s roots, or specific tracking of single lines; each
parent has two parents and so on ad infinitum and some lines may be more
interesting than others or throw up real surprises. We can find ancestors or collaterals
according to preference and can follow lines down again to discover
cousins. Instead of presenting a table
of names we can identify as much biographical detail about your ancestors as
possible.
We will accept a challenge if anyone
has come up against a brick wall and needs a helping hand
A note on thoroughness
Much of the record information that
is now readily available is based on transcriptions from the original records. Transcriptions
can be inaccurate and many researches have apparently reached a dead end
because of a transcription error or omission. We always like to ensure that the
original records are checked.
Sometimes we discover genealogies
that simply do not stack up. For example they depend on conception outside a
valid biological time frame or contain dates between generations that are
impossible. Again we are meticulous in ensuring that the facts are
authenticated and accurate.
A Starter
If you are interested in finding
your roots, we offer an introductory service where, for the equivalent of a
days work, we will find out as much as we can and give pointers on how we – or
you - can take the search further.
