Elizabeth recently fulfilled my half-sister's lifelong wish to find where her birth mother is buried after she died 10 weeks after giving birth to her 82 years ago. She now lives in Canada so will be visiting England next year to see her mum's resting place. It took Elizabeth no time at all, so I asked her to pursue further and she came up with relatives and family details that, up to now, she has been totally unaware of. Needless to say, she is overwhelmed but extremely happy now and we will be eternally grateful to Elizabeth for that…. Thank you Elizabeth.
Response : Thank you Val. That is so lovely to hear. I was delighted to find this information for your half-sister and am so pleased she is happy with the results. Thank you for taking the time to send a review.

Elizabeth. I found your blog today after searching for years to find any info on my husband’s grandmother, Charlotte. Was searching for Frederick Thurman 1890, and again for an Irish birth certificate, and a few entries down, there it was. Don’t think I emailed to ask for help, but glad someone did. (Found it was my first cousin) You answered so many questions and also. Let me know I was on the right track. Having nothing about Charlotte on Ash/Ramsey family tree was. Really bugging me. Now her grandchildren, especially the 90 year old one, will be happy. Thanks again for the excellent research. Ginger and Alan Ash.Montgomery, TX by way of Somers Town London NW1 1QT.Moreexpand_more
Response : Thank you for taking the time to get in touch. I'm so glad I was able to help with your research puzzle.

Elizabeth was great, always quick to respond and get onto a query. Produced a very comprehensive family history book and family tree and went above and beyond what we could've ever done without her expertise. Thank you!

Elizabeth traced my uncle's family, to enable me to carry out his last wishes before he died. She was incredibly helpful, quick and detailed. An exceptional researcher and friendly to deal with, I have recommended her to my friends and family, and my family will be eternally grateful for her service. An incredible amount of information was at my disposal in a very short timescale and value for money. I cannot recommend highly enough. (and I am really quite hard to please! ). Thank you so much.

AMAZING service! Fast, friendly, detailed and professional. I would, and have, recommended Search Your Past to friends and am already planning on asking for another search to be undertaken.

Elizabeth is a highly competent and trustworthy researcher. She very swiftly helped to trace my sister and brother although we have a common surname and even traced back our ancestry in Barbados. Her prices are incredibly fair and I was also impressed with the quality of her work and presentation of my family tree. Well done Elizabeth! Thanks :-).

Liz. Has been researching my family history for the past year and has performed this in a extremely professional and diligent manner. I have found the reports to be extremely easy to follow with a great amount of detail that allows me to get a real understanding of my family's past and history, there is always enough information to explain the finer points and intricacies of the research. The work is extremely good value for money and affordable which allows me to continue with the research on a regular basis, I am looking forward to eventually discovering all of my family's past! James.

I had long wondered about my family history and Liz was able to resolve all my questions. I was presented with a final report that went far deeper into my past than I imagined and brought it all to life. All produced within a short period of time at an excellent price. We will be going back to see about my wife's side of the family.

Liz researched my husband's ancestors and produced a beautiful family tree including all the living relatives for me. She was incredibly flexible as I was working to a very tight schedule and had to keep making changes. She patiently made several versions for me and the finished product is great - looking forward to getting the ones from the printers soon.

I have received an excellent service from Search Your Past and Ms Peters. Ms Peters has searched very early parish records, and workhouse records throughout Kent. Ms Peters has offered constructive comments on the findings and advised on the way forward. I am continuing to use this service and have much more research to undertake. It is great value for money as I would never have achieved so much as I would have to travel so far and I would have to have made many journeys and overnight stays. This is definitely the best way to achieve fast results. Ms Peters is very quick to respond to requests and provide results. All round excellent.

I have a very rare name of Russian origin and despite the best efforts by myself and other members of our family nobody was able to trace our history back before 1900. However I handed the problem over to Search Your Past and they were able to locate our whole family tree not only in this country but in other parts of the world and was able to identify members of the family that we did not know existed or had existed. A very good service and well recommended.
