Research Services

From uncovering a single life story to tracing a full family lineage, I provide a comprehensive range of genealogical services tailored to your specific needs.

Family History

Full family history research and detailed charts, or focused investigation into a single branch or ancestor.

DNA Analysis

Expert help with DNA research and analysis to verify lineages or break through existing "brick walls."

On-Site Research

Document lookups and professional photography of records, gravestones, ancestral homes, and businesses across London.

Heirloom Presentation & Charts

I believe family history should be presented as a lasting legacy. I offer a variety of bespoke options to turn your research into an heirloom.

Bespoke Reports: From hardbound loose-leaf reports (£80) to full traditional leather binding with vellum sheets (costs vary). You can choose the cover design, paper quality, and binding style to suit your budget.

Hand-Drawn Pedigree Charts: Beautifully designed charts featuring professional calligraphy, coats of arms, and illuminations. Available on everything from acid-free fine art paper to museum-grade archival canvas.
