Welcome to Your Family Genealogist. You have come to the right place for all your genealogy and family history needs - whether it be a full or partial family history project or something simpler such as a tailored DIY research plan, record look up, one-on-one tutorial to get you started, introduction to Ancestry or FindMyPast, or a lecture to your community group. Don’t hesitate to call me for a free 20-minute telephone consultation. In the meantime, please check my testimonials and follow the links below for examples of how I can help as well as an indication of my fees. I know everyone's needs are different and I tailor my services to meet your specific requirements.
I work mainly in Australian, English and Irish genealogy. My specialist areas of knowledge include convicts, military, goldfields and land records.
Please keep in mind that what you are buying isn’t a straightforward product. Sometimes for a variety of reasons (record loss, privacy laws, and other restrictions), the answers are legitimately not available despite a genealogist's best efforts. I cannot guarantee I will locate specific information, but you have my pledge that I will use paid time efficiently and effectively while searching for information in the best way possible. I use The Genealogical Proof Standard so you can be sure the research is well documented and authenticated. As a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists I am bound to operate within their Code of Ethics and Professional Practices.
