Do your ancestors come from Kent?

If you are researching the history of your English family in Kent and need some professional help, please contact me. I have been researching in Kent since 1978. Since then I have built up a great deal of specific experience with Kent local and family history research sources and research methods.

We are fortunate in Kent in that there is very good survival of the basic genealogical source material - and plenty of material to fill in biographical details as well. My research covers all types and periods of records, including those in Latin. I can provide transcriptions and translations of both Latin and English documents of any period.

During the course of three decades' research in Kent, I have compiled numerous indexes that provide essential reference tools for all Kent researchers. These indexes (listed at left) are available for searches and are an important resource for all Kent researchers, both amateur and professional. To learn more about any index, just click on the index title. These indexes are constantly updated, as my research continues.

I also offer a variety of publications to assist the Kent researcher.

In addition to these resources, I am happy to undertake professional research at all the record repositories and libraries in the county. I also offer a consultancy service to those tracing their own family history, perhaps to those who need a little advice on local sources or who have got 'stuck' and need some suggestions as to what to try next.

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about these services or would like to discuss a possible research project. Additional details about research services are available by clicking on Contact Us.

Best of luck with your Kent research!
