“I used Phil’s services to trace the family history on my father’s side. Phil got to work very quickly and in no time at all was pulling out some very interesting facts which were presented in a pleasing way. He clearly knows his way around various genealogy websites and other sources. He knows how to interpret the information they provide while avoiding the common pitfalls, of which there are many. It would have taken me many times times longer than it took Phil to get to where I am now with my family history.

His services are carefully tailored so that you don’t need to commit to any ongoing costs. So the service he provides is ideal if you just need someone kick-start your researches. But if you want to take things further, Phil can do that too. He has a journalist’s eye and will sniff out any interesting stories that may have lied dormant for hundreds of years. Tracing your family history is a voyage of discovery, but it’s so much easier if you have someone like Phil at your side with all the experience and expertise he can provide.”

“Thank you for locating the book “My Sergeant Major” and also for doing all the research on our grandfather. It was a real surprise to be holding that book in my hands.”

“I wanted to thank you so much for your time and dedication researching our family history. It certainly was emotional reading for me and a subject I have been wondering about for many years.”

“Phil was able to find all sorts of interesting pieces shedding light on my ancestors. He even found a local newspaper article on my grandfather’s road accident back when he was a young lad in his 20s. My family had always told stories of the event but they never really knew the details as they do now.”

Derek M - Edinburgh

"Finding out my Gaelic ancestors were from Argyll and not Barra, as I had long thought, was quite a revelation to me; this is something that I would like to look into more when I've got the chance. Being Scottish I was equally surprised to find that I had one completely unsuspected ancestral line from deepest South Somerset: Phil found that they go back hundreds of years and stayed in the one parish all that time."
