Have you ever wanted to know about the history of your house?
The story of your house will unfold through a rich variety of historical documents. Depending on the age of your house, research can include estate plans, sales particulars, tithe records, historic photographs and maps. Owners and occupiers will be identified through deeds, the census, land tax records, manorial records, local directories and more. Your house history research will also describe its location and include an overview of the local area.
Research can be flexible – from in depth research going back to when the house was first built, and detailing the history of its owners and occupants; to a less detailed history about a particular time or family of your choice. Each house history will include an historical timeline detailing change in property ownership as well local, national, and historical events.
Whatever you choose, the research will be professionally presented in format of your choice, from a simple document to a hard back coffee-table type book. Whichever you choose your house history will be a great keepsake, special gift or even a selling point for the next owners of your house.
Because every home is unique, the price of your research project will vary depending on when your property was built and how detailed you would like the research to be.

Every year, LinkedIn fills with inspirational posts celebrating women but as a genealogist and ex-HR professional, I often feel uneasy about what we’re overlooking. Quite rightly, we remember the Suffragettes, Marie Curie, Rosa Parks, and the remarkable Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson, and more recently, Malala Yousafzai and many other famous women whose
I was recently sent an AI-generated hypothesis of a family history by a client I have worked with for several years. He’s a very smart guy, loves testing technology and at first glance, the output looked impressively structured with dates, relationships, plausible connections, and even suggestions for further research. It had the confident tone that
When beginning World War I family history research, many people have stories of great-grandparents who served in The Great War. Often told by older family members, shown on service records, confirmed by medals and recorded on a few faded photographs. When delving deeper, what is discovered is something far more powerful: the human cost of
