A Comprehensive Family History

Starting out as a investigation of all ancestral lines for both husband and wife - reaching the 6th generation on most lines, back to the late 1700s. Has then been developed into a more complete family history incorporating details of where the families have lived; occupations; the general living conditions and developing history of the times; details of prominent, if distant relatives; and a photographic record. The finished history being distributed to the various branches of the family.

Verification of Family Anecdotes

Building a family tree based on remembered family anecdotes - "great uncle was an admiral at the battle of Jutland" (turned out to be a naval lieutenant at the WW1 famous incident of the Zeebrugge Raid - and was later an admiral) - "a gg uncle who was an MP" (turned out to have worked in the House of Commons as the referee of private bills in the House of Commons) - "connection to an Irish baronet and estate in Ireland" (quite true - through a cousin several times removed, but the baronetcy is now expired and the lands long since sold) - "a relative married to a British prime minister" (quite true, a third cousin twice removed married to Herbert Henry Asquith).

Descendant Family Branches

Tracing a connection between emigrants of the mid 1800s and the remaining family in England.

Computerisation of Manual Recordss

Creating a database of 30 years research from notebook form, itemising and referencing all the sources used, matching and verifying the information against new on-line available records (civil registration, census etc.). Result was a modern database of 1200 names fully cross referenced to source material and at least 100+ new names of family members found by cross referencing census, parish and civil records.

Extending a Family Tree with Parish Records

Extraction of over 300 names from parish records back to the mid 1700's and their integration with and expansion of existing family pedigrees and family groups.

Solving Family Puzzles

Establishing a changed identity and true ancestry for an emigrant who was an absconding soldier (went AWOL, assumed a new name and identity, married and emigrated).

Correlating Family & UK/USA Census Data for Immigrating Family

Tracing the immigration of several family groups from England to the USA and correlating between UK birth, marriage and census data and USA census records.
