What Our Clients Have To Say

What you and Andy do is amazing.
Setting these family histories the way you do against the social and cultural back drop makes these people live. We see their hopes and disasters in a snapshot that makes sense to their lives and the ones we lead now because of them.
I feel very differently about my own history and my own future now than I did before I received these amazing histories from you of all the people that made me who I am now.
R.ARCHELL
Leigh-on-Sea, ESS
I’m in Canada researching my ancestor from Newcastle. I was not in the position to travel to Newcastle to do the research myself, so I contacted Andy and Deb for assistance. The online records were not helping me because some records that I would normally use in my research did not exist, and my ancestor’s name was common so the records that did exist were too numerous to determine which exact ones were related to my ancestor. Andy was able to provide some local knowledge and insight and he also “thought outside the box” using some facts that aren’t commonly considered. By doing this he was able to show me the most likely answer to my “brick wall”, allowing me to move my research forward.

I have found working with Andy and Deb so fantastic. Professional and personal service and a depth of understanding of my family history that I could never have achieved with my amateur skills. Value for money and a detailed report. Will definitely use the business again.

I can't tell you how thrilled Dad was to receive the report. Just saying thank you doesn't seem to be enough for what you have both done....absolutely amazing. It will be lovely to treasure for years to come.
K & D JONES
Northumberland
I commissioned research into a family Bible from 1750 and my father's notes from about 1945 - Andy was informative, engaged and enthusiastic from the outset and has been able to document family members I had never heard of, despite many difficulties with access to archives. He was very helpful with related matters, after the family moved from Newcastle to Cork in 1799.
I plan to commission further research from him.
J. HUMPHRIES

Andy was recommended by a genealogist based in Cumbria when I was trying to trace my fathers roots and Irish Heritage after I couldn’t find any further details. I was seriously impressed with the speed of Andy’s response and more so with regards to the detail he was able to research and provide. I received detailed information, that was previously unknown and valuable photos as well as certificates of Birth, Death & Marriage of relatives that really did provide a sense of belonging. Needless to say, I am now very proud of my Irish roots. Andy demonstrated an in depth knowledge of the North East where my father's family had lived and also provided real detail of where my grandparents & great grandparents lived in Ireland which was impressive. I would not hesitate to contact Andy in the future as I continue to research my heritage.

Andy at 'Your Family Historian' is the ultimate professional and I highly recommend his services. Throughout the whole process I was kept up-to-date with any developments. he found a branch of the family I knew nothing about. Andy even found some living relatives but only took this further with my permission. He seems to really enjoy the research and discovered so much for me. No hidden extras financially but any potential extra cost (such as a new marriage, etc) is only pursued with your permission. Although it seemed logical to use YFH for family up North I am also about to use their services for the Hampshire part of the family.
L. STOKER
London
Andy was very professional, communicative but most of all he was friendly and approachable. he then puts his research into a form that's easily understood. When there are potential gaps or poor records he explains why and how this happens. This then saves lots of wasted time and expense going up dark alleyways. I tried to find what I wanted but I hit so many dead ends. Andy knew how to get around those issues so we to the information we required. So if you want an expert service in a friendly manner at a reasonable cost Andy is your Man!

We gave (D) her book today and to say it is stunning is an understatement. She was completely blown away
S. KENNEDY
London
Really helpful. Andy appreciated my level of previous research, explained options for attempting to solve the mystery and the probability of outcome. He provided a really good amount of detail from his findings and helped me understand the DNA process of linking ancestors and descendants. I would highly recommend Andy.
