Professional Genealogist in Scotland and the North East of England
Master’s-qualified genealogist providing structured, fully referenced family history research grounded in original records.
Research undertaken across the wider United Kingdom, and selected international cases, where appropriate.
Professional, Evidence-Based Family History Research
Based in the North East of England, I combine local archive familiarity with formal academic training in genealogy. I hold a Master of Science in Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies, awarded in Scotland, with a strong focus on evidential methodology and historical record systems.
My proximity to archives across Northumberland, Durham and surrounding areas allows research to extend beyond digitised sources, grounding investigations in original documentation wherever possible.
Each project is approached with structured analysis, careful source correlation and clear referencing. Research proposals are outlined before work begins, ensuring transparency of scope and cost.
