Your family's story, found and beautifully kept.

I'm Hannah. For over twenty years I've traced families across the UK and Ireland - and turned what I find into family trees and books that become heirlooms.

Three ways to begin

Refined over the years from my clients' feedback. Each one makes a gift people treasure - and if your family needs something different, just ask.

Classic Family Tree Scroll

Your family tree, researched and beautifully presented

Researching the parents, grandparents and great-grandparents of one living person, with the option to go further back.

  • Names, birthplaces, occupations, and dates of birth and death
  • All the research compiled on Ancestry, which you get access to at the end
  • Digital copies of any birth, marriage and death certificates I purchase for your tree

Classic Family History Bundle

Your family tree scroll plus a book of the original records

Researching the parents, grandparents and great-grandparents of one living person, with the option to go further back.

  • Everything in the Classic Family Tree Scroll
  • An A4 hardback record book printed on thick silk-finish pages
  • Up to 40 fully transcribed records - no squinting at old handwriting

The Full Monty

Up to two weeks of research, written as a story

Not a dry report of names and dates. I spend up to 80 hours uncovering every available scrap of information about your ancestors - warts and all - and write it up as one rich family narrative.

  • A narrative history that reads like a story, not a list of names and dates
  • Around 40 or 80 hours of research, depending on how far back you go
  • Original records, fully transcribed

See the real thing

Every tree, book and box is designed, printed and wrapped by me. Tap any photo to see it up close.

03 · How it works

From a phone call to an heirloom

  1. Get in touch

    Call, WhatsApp or leave your details. Tell me a little about your family and what you have in mind - a gift, a mystery, or research you’ve already started.

  2. A personal quote

    I email you myself with a quote and a simple questionnaire about the family you know so far. No automated messages, ever.

  3. The research

    I search certificates, census returns, parish registers, newspapers and archives - online and in record offices - following every lead.

  4. Your heirloom

    I design your tree or book, you see a draft, and we tweak it together. Then it’s printed, boxed and posted to your door.

04 · Already done the research?

“It needs a human eye to work out what to include, and where to trim the branches.”

If you've spent years on your family history, I'll check it and design a custom tree - with the right church, the right crest - that you'll be proud to hang on the wall.

Bespoke design

05 · More ways I can help

Not looking for a package?

Smaller jobs, priced simply. Every family is different, so if yours needs something else, let's have a chat.

Research hours

For brick walls, or one specific question - where was my auntie buried, what was my grandad doing during the war? Eight hours is usually enough to solve it, with a detailed report and all the evidence.

£160 per 8 hours

Tidy up my tree

Started a tree on Ancestry, Findmypast or MyHeritage and got in a muddle? Give me editor access and I'll remove duplicates, check and correct it, then hand it back with a short report of what I did and some useful tips.

Irish citizenship

Got a grandparent born in Ireland? You may be able to apply for Irish citizenship. I'll identify the right birth, marriage and death certificates and order them for you.

06 · Kind words

What my clients say

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.

Mandy

Can't recommend Hannah highly enough. She seems to be as excited to find out about your family as you are! She was in contact constantly and it was like speaking to a friend. You can tell she is passionate about what she does.

Susan

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.
