Reach out for a relaxed, no-obligation conversation!
Whether you’re just starting your research, stuck at a crossroads, or simply curious about a family story that’s been passed down for generations, I’m here to help.
Online databases provide a starting point — but they only scratch the surface. Much of the detail, colour, and context of your family’s past lives on in archives, historical records, and legal documents waiting to be discovered.
As a professional genealogist and Associate of AGRA, I offer expert research, thoughtful analysis, and a compassionate approach — helping clients in the UK and overseas uncover stories, solve puzzles, and connect with their heritage in meaningful ways.
"Deborah researched my husbands family recently, she turned up many interesting and previously unknown family facts. Criminals, sports stars and tragedy it was all there waiting to be found. An exciting walk down a memory lane long forgotten. Highly recommended."

"Reviewed by Susie Patman: Deborah researched one side of my family recently. She is thorough, accurate & leaves no stone unturned when seeking out your correct ancestors. With so many people having the same name and similar date of birth it is easy to get the wrong person when searching yourself. Deborah knows what she is doing and gets the right people found.

"We can’t thank Debbie enough for her incredible support in helping us track down my father’s long-lost relative. Using DNA results and her vast knowledge of family trees, she guided us through every step of the process with patience and care.
Debbie kept us updated regularly, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and handled such a sensitive search with genuine thoughtfulness. Her expertise and dedication made all the difference. I truly believe we couldn’t have achieved this
without her help.
She’s not only highly professional but also most sincere and a caring person. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done for our family. Mission Accomplished and forever grateful."
