Ancestral Research UK

Tracing your family's history is rather like detective work and is often a question of logic, patience and perseverance. Record searching requires expertise, concentration and thoroughness. Ancestral Research UK's experience and professional expertise in knowing what to look for and where to look for it is invaluable in compiling your family's history in the most efficient and cost effective way.

The first clues on the journey back into your history quite often lie around you in old letters, diaries, family bibles and your living relatives themselves. Ask parents and grandparents for their memories of your family noting as many of the details as possible - names, dates and places of birth, religious denominations, occupations, marriage dates and locations, addresses and any other information and anecdotes you find interesting, however sketchy.

If you live outside of the UK take particular note of the ancestor(s) who emigrated from the UK to your country, this is the beginning of the trail for Ancestral Research UK. Do not worry if the information you have is limited, even to just a name and date of birth or marriage, it is possible to work from very few initial details.

When you have accumulated all the information you can, email Sue or Les at info@ancestralresearchuk.com with a brief outline of your requirements and we will contact you within 48 hours, with details of how to proceed if you so wish.
