Eight Surname Family Tree
Tracing the main bloodline ancestors of one living person, known as the Home Person, (and their siblings) back to eight great-grandparents.
The custom-designed and beautifully framed family tree will depict each person’s name at birth, place of origin, year of birth, occupation and year of death.
Also depicting the spouse/partner and descendants (children, grandchildren) of the Home Person.
Based in West Yorkshire, I am experienced in family history research across the UK and Ireland, using a wide range of online subscription services as well as offline, physical repositories such as record offices, local archives, libraries and churches.
For an additional £80, I will compile an A4 hardback ancestry book. Each chapter of the book contains the story of one couple through a range of historical records, transcribed for easy reading and supplemented with a narrative about key events in their lives. You can expext to see:
Birth Marriage and death certificates
Baptism and burial and cremation records
Census records
Surname meanings and origins
Addresses and occupations
Newspaper articles
Historical maps and photographs
Military records
Photographs of graves
Workhouse and Asylum records
Travel and School records
....and whatever else I can find that shows the key events in the lives of your ancestors.
All projects have a minimum turnaround time of four weeks, prices are 'all in' and include VAT (costs include purchase of historical records, lookup and subsription services, design and printing, postage and packaging) and comprise of a 20% deposit with the remaining fee due once research is complete. You will have the option of seeing electronic copies of your completed family tree / book before they are sent to print.
You'll receive an email with a quote containing details of how to pay your deposit and link to a webpage, where you can provide your family's information. If you already have some online research (on Ancestry or Find My Past) and are happy to provide me with Editor access, I will use that as the foundation of my research, amending and building on it so that at the end of the project you will also have an accurate and detailed online family tree. Any physical paperwork you have can be scanned and emailed to me or if you're comfortable to do so, sent to me by post.
I will provide email updates along the way, to keep you up to date with progress and you'll be invited to send scanned / photographed copies of any family photographs you'd like included in your book.
