YouTree
Growing Branches
Discovering Roots
The Yew Tree is renowned for its long lifespan – some survive 2000+ years! I can’t hope to trace your “YouTree” that far back, but with a bit of luck I can get you back almost 200 years fairly quickly – and I can offer help to go further.
Successful research cannot be guaranteed. Most of the records I can access easily relate to England and Wales (including census records from 1841 – 1921; birth, marriage & death records from 1837 to recent times; and certain other sources of information). More limited information is available for Scotland, Ireland and other parts of the world.
But you never know what might turn up! Recent successes have been tracing a family in India back to the 1700s, and another family found they were direct descendants of William the Conqueror!
On a basic search, provided that you have enough information to give me a good start, I would normally be able to trace most UK & Ireland branches of the family back to the early-mid 19th century, including tracing the names and dates for siblings of direct ancestors.
Please see the “Family History Research Costs” page for information about the different research options.
