In these pages you'll find some reports and an example of a Family Tree. The tree's rather plain because I'm a genealogist, not an artist, in fact my artistic abilities are about nil. If you would like something a little more artistic there are professionals who will prepare handwritten or painted trees.
The reports on this site are about my own family because all work for clients is confidential unless they give me permission to use it. However I uncover for many of my clients stories about their families and previously unknown ancestors as interesting, if not more so than my own family.
My message is that Family History Research is far more than a list of names and dates. All families are interesting and one of my aims is to introduce my clients to their ancestors and other family members as real people, placed in their historical context.
On the page Some Frequently Asked Questions there's a link at the bottom to a paper explaining about the records used to build the basic family report and tree, a very necessary preliminary when reseraching a family. The document's a bit dry, which is why it's where it is, but its important that my clients understand the limitations and nature of these records. In fact the birth marriage and death records of England and Wales are some of the most uninformative of that type of document in the world in terms of family information provided. Howeveer they can, on occasions be illuminating.
