Susan has the expertise and wide breadth of knowledge to access the relevant genealogy tools that provided me with the unanswered questions I had been searching for. Susan is thorough, considerate, mindful and patiently navigates you through the documents and records she uncovers. Her passion for genealogy research is evident and I would certainly recommend her to anyone on their ancestry journey."

  • "I can’t recommend Susan enough! I was completely stuck researching the English side of my family tree and didn’t know where to go next. She jumped in and helped me uncover so much more than I could have managed on my own. It’s clear she has a real passion for genealogy and she was so easy to work with and made the whole process enjoyable. If you’re trying to figure out your family history, I highly recommend Susan."

  • "I have learned so much about my paternal family history through Susan’s research and direction. With some surprises along the way with exciting connections in the 16th Century. I was keen to learn about my maternal heritage and with Susan’s help, I am gathering more detailed information about my mother’s family history. I’m now eager to learn more. It’s so interesting and enlightening. Susan is an amazing help. Would highly recommend her services."

    — Linda

  • "I knew very little about my paternal family tree and approached Susan for help, after receiving a letter about a distant relative who had sadly passed away. I was honestly amazed by how much information Susan found out for me and how far back she could trace my ancestors. It was fascinating. Susan is so passionate about ancestry and wants to find out as much information for you as she can. Highly recommended."
