Your Devon Ancestors
Family History Research and Talks
Discover your Devon ancestors and uncover the story of your family. I specialise in tracing family histories in my home county of Devon, helping you connect with your roots and understand your heritage. I am dedicated to bringing the past to life and sharing the rich history of Devon with you.
​
I can help you if your family came from Devon and you are looking for:
-
professional research into your family tree
-
research in Devon archives
​
I also give talks to local groups and societies
​
My research services
I carry out original research using a wide range of historical records and local sources, and bring the findings together into a clear, readable report. Where possible, I place your ancestors in their social and historical context so you gain a deeper understanding of their lives, not just their names and dates.
About Me
I hold a degree in history and have a strong background in original archival research. I am committed to continuing professional development in genealogy, ensuring that my work reflects current best practice and research standards.
With roots in a long-established Devon farming family, I have a particular interest in rural Devon communities and in the history of nonconformism, which often shaped everyday life in rural society. This perspective helps me recognise patterns in records and better understand the lives of the people I research.
