I am a professionally qualified genealogist gaining my Postgraduate Diploma in Genealogical, Palaeographic & Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. I have over twenty years of experience in researching family history from all over the UK and Ireland as well as further afield.
I am passionate about uncovering your family history and helping my clients have a real connection to their past by creating a picture of who their ancestors were and how they lived.
I specialise in Scottish Ancestry but can trace histories for clients all over the UK and beyond, I offer a variety of research packages which aim to illuminate your family history stories and these are beautifully presented for you to enjoy or to give as a special gift to a loved one.
Living in Edinburgh, I can easily obtain hard-copy versions of documents from the National Records of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland or the City Archives, I am also within easy reach of other archives throughout Scotland.
Are you planning a trip to Scotland and want to learn more about your Scottish ancestors? I can provide insight into their lives as well as recommend places that will be of ancestral interest to you during this memorable trip.
For many people, the search for their ancestors is an exciting and rewarding experience but it can also be very frustrating if you hit the dreaded 'brick wall' – I am happy to work with you to try to solve your genealogical difficulties or provide alternative avenues of research.
Whatever your genealogical needs, I can help you discover your ancestors' roots and stories.
