DISCOVER YOUR HERITAGE.
Based in West Yorkshire, I have over two decades of experience
in family history research across the UK and Ireland.
If you’re curious about your ancestors but have no idea where to start, looking for a unique gift for a loved one, or need some assistance with your own research, I can help.
I offer a range of packages that include
family trees and ancestry books,
designed to display your ancestors in a way
that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
Below are some reviews from previous clients
who have been delighted with the results,
since I founded Family Trees by Hannah in 2017.
As every family is unique,
I also offer bespoke research services.
So if you have a specific project in mind,
get in touch and I'd love to discuss how I can help you
uncover the stories of your ancestors.
You can also follow me on Facebook where I share the fascinating things I uncover during my research – everything from grim occupations and working-class war heroes to bizarre deaths and grizzly murders!
REVIEWS
Hannah brought my ancestors to life in a way I never thought possible. It was an exciting adventure into my past and a way to bring my ancestors into the future.

Hannah opened up a whole new world for me tracing my ancestors back to 1810, including burial sites. My daughter and I went back to Ireland to pay our respects and walk in our ancestors steps. I will be forever grateful.

Historical Research
I am dedicated to finding as much information as possible about your ancestors, resolving tricky brick walls and finding answers to family mysteries. This involves online research as well as extracting physical records from 'bricks and mortar' repositories such as record offices, libraries and churches.
Information and evidence is presented in a way that is logical and simple to understand, while also interesting.
All family trees are beautifully framed and the ancestry books contain an engaging narrative for a 'story feel', supplemented with a range of carefully selected historical records, transcribed and explained, for easy reading. Here are just some examples:
Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates
Census Returns (1841-1921 in the UK, 1901 & 1911 in Ireland)
1939 General Register
Parish and Church registers
Trade directories
Electoral rolls
Court and criminal records
Wills and administrations
Archived newspaper articles
Workhouse and Asylum registers
Military records
School and travel records
Historical maps
.....and whatever else I can get my hands on that brings the story to life!
Transform Your Research
Lots of people have spent many years lovingly researching their family history, collating a huge amount of information and aren't sure how to get it into a format that can be displayed, and enjoyed by all the family.
If that sounds familiar, I can help. By providing me full access to all your research, I can design and create a custom family tree that you'll be proud to hang in your home, and of course, fill in any research gaps along the way.
The cost depends on the time it takes, get in touch to tell me about your requirements and we can discuss a way forward.
