Short summary of your family story with historical context
A thoughtful present for birthdays, Mother’s Day, anniversaries or simply because
How far back can you trace my family? For most British families, we reach the 1700s or earlier, sometimes to the 1500s.
How does deep research work? I review baptism, marriage, burial records, census and probate archives.
How much will it cost? Most clients spend £60 to £150. Free assessments and quotes are always provided.
What next? Just get in touch and mention "deep research". I’ll give you a clear budget.
