Waymark Genealogy

I am based in the East Midlands, within easy reach of archives in Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Derbyshire and Northamptonshire....

...but I research families originating from all over the country and regularly visit archives further afield, such as the National Archives at Kew, the British Library and the London Archives.

Waymark Genealogy can work from the information that you currently have, even if you know very little about your British or Irish roots!

I use primary sources - original documents - to compile family histories and draw up family trees.  I am equally happy to support you in your own research - fact checking, problem solving, making visits to archives, libraries and cemeteries on your behalf.

Local archives hold a wealth of documents that can add real depth and detail to a family history; contrary to popular belief, however, many of these documents have not been digitised and are not available on-line.  I can visit archives on your behalf - advising on what documents might exist to further your research, photographing and transcribing original documents.

Cemetery visits are also possible, photographing and transcribing headstones.

Please do look at the range of genealogy and research services available - from full family histories and trees to smaller individual tasks, such as research for a report about one person in the style of the BBC's 'Who Do You Think You Are?' programme, or the tracing of an individual serviceman's military career, including forward reconstruction (tracing descendants and finding missing people) if required.
