Family Tree Research

I became interested in family history approximately 4 years ago and as the research has become more extensive so did my interest in geneaology as a whole. My interest in geneaology has developed into being able to offer an extensive family history service to anyone who is interested.

The family tree research service I provide not only shows who your ancestors were, but where they lived at the time of a census and what their occupation was. If any of your ancestors were famous(or indeed infamous) I’ll let you know!

Completed or work in progress family trees can only be accessed by you on my website Your Ancestors. I also provide spreadsheets listing all of your ancestors and maps showing where they lived at each census.

How your direct descendants (Father, Mother, Grandfather, Grandmother etc) are related to you is fairly straightforward but when it comes to Cousins, knowing who’s who can be confusing.

Let me explain.
The son or daughter of your Uncle and Aunt is your First Cousin. Your Second Cousin is the Grandson or Granddaughter of your Grand Uncle and Grand Aunt with your Third Cousin being the Great Grandson or Great Granddaughter.

Get the picture or perhaps you are still not sure? Don’t worry if you are still confused. Take a look at the Cousins Chart on the left for an explanation  or click on the button to download a pdf version.

One of the things I create as part of my family tree research are census maps. The maps shows where your ancestors lived at the time of each census. On each map I seperate where your paternal and maternal ancestors lived by different coloured markers.

When a census does not indicate a house number or the building no longer exists, I enter (approx). If a whole street no longer exists, you will find red lines indicating where it used to be. Please take a look at the photo on the right to see what I am referring to.

Although I record paternal and maternal ancestors on a census map, for a an extra fee I can indicate where in-laws used to live as well as provide photos of a particular house or area.
