If you’re a professional or experienced genealogist living far from your current area of research and would like a qualified genealogist to examine documents lodged at archives on your behalf, or to carry out wider research based on the Isle of Wight or adjacent areas of the mainland on your behalf, please contact me to discuss how I might be able to help. I can examine and copy specific documents identified by you, or if you wish I can work with you to identify alternative record sources at the archives that might help you to progress your research. Reports can be produced to your in-house requirements if appropriate.

This work is charged at £40 per hour. Research expenses are billed at cost.
