My son enjoys a bit of genealogy purely as an amateur. His years of research had left some holes that try as we might, we could not fill. So, with absolutely no idea what might be uncovered, or the costs involved I contacted Your Family Historian, to learn that they were just a mile or so from me. Several emails later to establish exactly what we wanted, I was quoted a very reasonable amount of money to carry out the research.
I still had no idea what to expect. Today, just a couple of short weeks later, 5 files turned up on my grandfather. The main file is his biography and I learnt so many facts that I did not, and would never have known! There was also a lot of detail of my grandfather's WW1 Service history that I was also most grateful for.
If you are thinking of commissioning a genealogist, you need look no further than Your Family Historian.
Thank you very much.

It is difficult to put into words the impact of the work of Your Family Historian. Andy has revealed family stories for me that have filled in blanks which have existed my whole life. I now have connections with relatives I never knew I had and I sense these will be with me for ever. And I have had gaps filled that make sense of where I come from and who I am. He is forensic in his search for the truth, totally profesional in his approach and sensitive in his engagement. I count myself extremrly fortunate to have had this support and recommend Your Family Historian unreservedly.

What you and Andy do is amazing.
Setting these family histories the way you do against the social and cultural back drop makes these people live. We see their hopes and disasters in a snapshot that makes sense to their lives and the ones we lead now because of them.
I feel very differently about my own history and my own future now than I did before I received these amazing histories from you of all the people that made me who I am now.

I’m in Canada researching my ancestor from Newcastle. I was not in the position to travel to Newcastle to do the research myself, so I contacted Andy and Deb for assistance. The online records were not helping me because some records that I would normally use in my research did not exist, and my ancestor’s name was common so the records that did exist were too numerous to determine which exact ones were related to my ancestor. Andy was able to provide some local knowledge and insight and he also “thought outside the box” using some facts that aren’t commonly considered. By doing this he was able to show me the most likely answer to my “brick wall”, allowing me to move my research forward.

Absolutely brilliant, so pleased with the outcome! The only issue is that I now want to delve even further and guess what I am, with the lovely help of this business. The attention to detail is amazing and genuinely think they where interested in my family history as if was their own. Can't wait for the next project.

I can't thank Andy Robson enough for his outstanding research and detailed report on my Gowton family's ancestral journey from the mid-1700s through 1871 before their emigration to America. His work has provided invaluable insight into the places my ancestors lived, from Guisborough in the North Riding of Yorkshire, through Yarm, Kirklevington, and Barton, crossing into County Durham, and ultimately reaching Bishop Auckland.
Andy's meticulous research, complete with links to historical maps and documents, has turned what was once a distant history into a tangible and deeply meaningful itinerary for our upcoming visit this October. Thanks to his expertise, we can now trace the migration path of our family with confidence and a sense of connection that would have been impossible otherwise. This journey promises to be truly memorable, and I highly recommend Andy’s services to anyone looking to uncover their family’s past.

Andy was recommended by a genealogist based in Cumbria when I was trying to trace my fathers roots and Irish Heritage after I couldn’t find any further details. I was seriously impressed with the speed of Andy’s response and more so with regards to the detail he was able to research and provide. I received detailed information, that was previously unknown and valuable photos as well as certificates of Birth, Death & Marriage of relatives that really did provide a sense of belonging. Needless to say, I am now very proud of my Irish roots. Andy demonstrated an in depth knowledge of the North East where my father's family had lived and also provided real detail of where my grandparents & great grandparents lived in Ireland which was impressive. I would not hesitate to contact Andy in the future as I continue to research my heritage.

Andy at 'Your Family Historian' is the ultimate professional and I highly recommend his services. Throughout the whole process I was kept up-to-date with any developments. he found a branch of the family I knew nothing about. Andy even found some living relatives but only took this further with my permission. He seems to really enjoy the research and discovered so much for me. No hidden extras financially but any potential extra cost (such as a new marriage, etc) is only pursued with your permission. Although it seemed logical to use YFH for family up North I am also about to use their services for the Hampshire part of the family.
