Helen Parsons Family History Researcher

Ever wondered who your ancestors were, what they did, where they lived or what their life might have been like? Are there family “stories” that you want to try to find out more about? Who served in the First World War and where? Having extensively researched several branches of my own family history, going back 7 generations to the mid 1700’s, I would like to offer my services for others. I found this a fascinating and rewarding experience to find the details and sometimes stories behind the names and old photographs. Family history research can be a time consuming exercise and knowing where to start can be confusing. I have full subscriptions to the major genealogy sites, a reader’s card for the National Records Office, familiarity with the General Register Office for ordering certificates and plenty of experience using those resources and digging around in the background to pick up lost links. I can also take your old photos and documents, scan them for a digital record and provide or indeed organise them into suitable storage folders using acid free photo album pocket pages. All research will be started with a free consultation with you to find out what you already know and what direction you would like to go in.
