What Our Clients Have To Say

Wow! What can I say except I'm blown away by the amount of research that has obviously gone into my family treeEach part of the family has been charted on a pull out tree and each person has been plotted and details recorded about them. I was especially pleased with the military information provided about my Grandad. Anecdotally, within the family, there was speculation that he served in both World Wars and Andy gave us the evidence that he did.

 

Andy and Deborah couldn't have been more helpful in guiding me through the process and managing my expectations. Even warning me that some individuals had hard lives and I might need a tissue!

 

The album itself is of really high quality and will last long enough to be passed on to future generations of my family. Couldn’t be happier.

I am so impressed! I had travelled up totally the wrong tree and eventually none of it made sense. Andy unravelled the mess I'd made and put it right for me. He then moved to the other side of my tree where I was having trouble going back further in time. He found the correct relatives for me so now I can explore further on this side too. I was kept up to date with his ongoing research and he sent easy to follow explanations for his findings.

Andy was able to help with everything I asked. He is extremely knowledgeable, very patient and nothing is too much trouble. He followed up my visit with some additional research he'd done before I even got home. Thank you...

A. THOMAS,

I received the Ely family tree this morning and have spent most of the day absorbed by it!

You've done a great job.

Thank you.

A. McMAHON,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Andy and Deborah who assisted with a big Christmas present to the family with not just what I needed, but more than I could ever have imagined. They managed to get photos, and stories for people in my tree that I knew nothing more than a name. Not only this but they communicated with me brilliantly along the way and was completed ahead of schedule. I really cannot recommend them enough for anyone who would like some research doing.

Military Service History Research North East England

My father died of his war injuries when I was very young. I had sent off his War records and was enormously disappointed to receive a few pages which were completely incomprehensible. Andy said he would have a look at them for me and I was completely blown away by the huge amount of information and the details about my father's experiences in the War which he was able to find out. It's awe inspiring!

My children have been so happy to have found out something about their missing grandfather and I now know what happened to him. I am so grateful to Andy for giving me my Family History and a real insight into what my father did for the three years he was in the Army.

Thank you Andy - you are my new Hero!

Family History Research

As someone new to tracing family history, Andy was brilliant at pointing us in the right direction to start with. He helped enough to get started without overwhelming us with information. As we reached different challenges he was able to advise us of how to get the best out of resources or indeed to suggest new resources. Throughout the process, we were making family discoveries and Andy was in the background supporting us through our family journey back in time. His incredible knowledge of the resources and his understanding of history made his support invaluable!

K. CRAWFORD,

Wow - this is fantastic. I'm really impressed with the amount of detail and the additional local information, that is wonderful, thank you!

S. SCOTT,

Andy is extremely tenacious and does not give up - exactly who you want on your side. I cannot recommend him enough!

C. GOSLING,

Thanks again for all your great work. The family are all over the moon their "trees". I'll be back in touch in the near future about going back further if possible.

T. WILSON,
GATESHEAD

I wanted help finding out about my Grandmother's service in the WAAF during World War Two. Andy helped me get hold of the records and then produced a report outlining her whole service record. I now know everything about her training, postings and how her career progressed. Best of all, the report included lots of background detail on the work of Balloon Squadrons, what their duties were and photographs. 

​

I knew nothing about her time in the WAAF and she died many years ago, so I will treasure this.

Andy got me started on my Ancestry journey, he knows the site inside out and showed me how to navigate my way through to set up my tree. He explained some of the rookie pitfalls and patiently answered my questions, giving me tips on how to verify information and when it's worth investing in sending for a copy of a certificate. He also pointed me in the right direction on other sources of information both nationally and locally. He has given me the confidence to continue when I've hit dead ends, or if I'm just unsure whether I'm on the right track.

I have no hesitation in recommending Andy to help you in your voyage of discovery.

J. BROWN,

Absolutely fantastic service. The binders of the family trees were done really professionally and had loads of interesting information about our ancestors.

A. ALLEN,

Just to let you know you have been wonderful and I appreciate all the research you have done. You have filled a few distinct gaps in my family tree and have opened up my family history for me. For that I will be eternally grateful!

Many thanks to all the team for the family histories you did for me recently. The details and content you researched was amazing. It was so helpful to read about events in the past and try to understand how our ancestors lived their lives. The books are very well presented and an indication of how enthusiastic you are in producing an excellent result.
