In order to design a rewarding itinerary for your journey, we will need to conduct many weeks of background research on your behalf.
To get the full picture we need to draw on the techniques of both genealogical and family history research. Genealogy traces the names, dates and relationships between your ancestors in order to construct your lineage. In contrast, family history will help you step into the shoes of your forebears and understand the reality of their lives and experience.
When we have uncovered and traced your genealogy, our next challenge is to bring the names on birth certificates alive. We may discover that your roots lie in remote communities in Ireland, Poland, Jamaica, India or elsewhere around the world. We will comb the archives and identify the experts who can tell us what life was like for your family at that time and help fill you in with the historical events that touched their lives. We will source new documentation and background material and when we have done a thorough ‘recce’ of all the locations you will visit, we are then ready to take you on your unique journey.
