Family History Research


Beginning your family history journey can be both exciting and rewarding. Discovering the long forgotten details of your family, their occupations, where they lived, who they married can bring you closer to your ancestors. Engaging a professional researcher ensures that your genealogical research is carried out to the highest standards by someone with extensive knowledge of the sources available. As well as the three packages offered below, I also offer tailored research to those who perhaps have a specific enquiry, or need a fresh pair of eyes to help knock down that ‘brick wall’.

 

Trace one surname back as far as records allow. This package can also be tailored to trace the maternal line, as far as records allow.

Trace the ancestry of one of your grandparents.

Trace the ancestry of two of your grandparents.

What’s included in the Family History Packages?

The research for each project will vary depending on the parameters of the request and your ancestor’s surnames. However, each package will include the following:

  • Report - a fully referenced research report detailing my findings as well as search methodology.

  • Family Tree Chart - a copy of your family tree, including details of ancestors found during the course of the research.

  • Documents - copies of the birth, marriage and death certificates required to support the findings of the research, as well as census returns. Also copies of any other archival material which is relevant to the research.

Getting started

If you would like to enquire about one of the packages, please get in touch using the contact form or emailing info@elizabethdoyle.co.uk. I offer a free initial consultation which will give you the chance to discuss your requirements and any information you already have about your family history. Following this consultation, and if you are happy proceed, a 50% deposit is required before the research commences, with the outstanding balance payable upon completion of the work.
