Do you want to know more about your family history ?
You don't know where to start with your research or maybe you have started but have hit a brick wall?
You would like further details about what your family were up to where they lived in Great Britain going back to the 18th century and beyond.
With a combination of genealogical experience, online and archive resources Wakefield based Ancestral Enquiries offer a number of services:
-
Family Trees. Research and build your family tree using a variety of sources.
-
Brickwalls. Resolve 'brickwalls' where there appear to be no options or too many options for potential ancestors for the previous generation.
-
Family Tree review and verification. You may have already completed some research but would like your research reviewed and verified. I will carry out a review of your research, identify any issues and provide suggestions for rectifying them.
-
Family Tree research advice. You may be confident to enough to do your own research but would like some one to one advice. I can offer this by email, Zoom or in person (subject to location).
