UK Professional Family History Research

FREE surname history for every visitor to my site!

Want know the origin and meaning of your surname for FREE? Go straight to my site now! I research throughout England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. I undertake full scale research into a family history and one off focused investigations into individuals. Fees are negotiable depending on the amount of research you require.

I specialise in finding families from Great Britain and their place of origin. I also locates living relatives in Great Britain and abroad.

I was trained at the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies in Canterbury, England and was until recently the Managing Director and Head of Research at a leading Genealogical research company.

I researched and presented BBC2's Blood Ties and appeared in an expert context on several radio and TV programmes. I have just finished researching and filming "Lost Royals" a major TV documentary.

Although research is my major interest I am also called upon to write pieces for Family History publications including several important articles on tracing overseas relatives for Your Family Tree. I have a regular monthly column in Practical Family History and I also write for Family History Monthly.

About Me

I have been researching family trees for over 20 years now. I came to genealogy from an interest in English social history. The novels of Dickens were more of an introduction to family history to me than any particular prompting from within to find out more about my Welsh ancestry.

So it was that after studying English at Hull University and spending not a little time in the bar with the poet Philip Larkin that I ended up in Canterbury and learned my family history methodology at the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies.

It is hard to calculate but I would estimate that over the years I have investigated some 5000 family trees. The number of individuals is much much more difficult to guess at. Whether you require a people search or ancestry researched, there is little I have not encountered before.

At times I have been fortunate enough to be asked to appear on several television shows. The most notable being the BBC series Blood Ties and the most amusing the Gloria Hunniford Show where I was a guest with Lord Bath. That's me in the blue next to Lord Bath.

The first series of Blood Ties went on air in February 2000 and 6 programmes ran to March 2000. Presented by Martha Kearney, the show was researched by me and I appeared regularly as the series' resident genealogist. Presented in a magazine format, several stories each week provided information on sources. I have just finished researching and presenting "Lost Royals", an hour long documentary for Granada TV which will be shown worldwide in 2008.

I also contribute articles to a number of magazines on the subject; last year I wrote guides to family tree research in Australia and New Zealand for Your Family Tree magazine. I have been writing a regular column for Practical Family History magazine since April 2006 and have written the cover feature for Your Family Tree magazine, Britain's most popular, on Records of the Poor, Parish Chest material, Wills and Marriage Licences in 2007/8.
