Genealogy & Family History

‘Family History does not end at the point when parish registers begin, but enters an exciting period of tracing families through probate and property records supplemented by subsidy returns and other records of central government’
From ‘The Bury Rentals’

Research

If your family originated in Suffolk or East Anglia and you have been able to trace them back in time to Seventeenth Century or before you may find that you are in need of the services of an experienced and well established researcher who will be able to take your family history back even further to as early as the thirteenth century.
Where the records sources have survived it is possible and can be done though knowledge of Latin and highly developed skills in palaeography are essential.

You can be confident of the services offered by simply looking at the record of publishing histories, translations and transcriptions.
