Welcome to Family Detective Print

Your family history may be a mystery to you at the moment, but imagine if you could discover who your ancestors really were!


At Family Detective we will carry out the research on your behalf and uncover the secrets of your family's past? not just names and dates, but fascinating facts about individuals and families; what they did, where they resided and how they lived their daily lives.

Many of these facts are available through Census reports, Parish records and Birth, Marriage and Death certificates, but not everyone has the time or expertise to carry out extensive research for themselves. Now, you can commission us to do your detective work for you.


Once we have discussed your requirements with you, our researchers will begin their investigations. All the information we find out about your family; including dates, children, occupations, addresses, military information, places of interest or famous relatives will be included in a stylish presentation folder which also includes a full genealogical report. For optional extras such as poster-sized family trees and heraldic reports, please see the Package Comparison page.




 


To get started on your own historical adventure, simply choose a package to suit your budget and complete the on-line application form. We will contact you to discuss how to proceed.

 
Name Research and Coat of Arms
Finding out about your surname can provide some surprising insights into your distant ancestors, perhaps your name refers to a trade like Taylor or Baker, or maybe there is some foreign blood in your line.
Some families will also have heraldic heritage, a Coat of Arms used in battle or a Crest to identify aristocratic connections. Family Detective can research this information for you, see our Research Packages section.
