Family Focused

We are all here because of the people who came before us.  Their lives, choices and circumstances shaped everything that followed, even if those connections are not always clear.

Evidence Based

I take a careful, evidence-based approach to family history. I do not make assumptions or join things together unless they genuinely fit. Records are checked, details are questioned, and anything included is there for a reason.

PhD.

Trusted Researcher

My background is in science, which naturally shapes how I work. I am used to looking closely at evidence and making sense of complex information. I also use DNA where it helps, not just as a result, but as something to interpret alongside historical records.

Lives that Matter

At the same time, this work is about people. Not just names or dates, but real lives, and how those lives connect to your own.
