If you want to learn about your family tree but don’t know where to begin, then order one of our five superb research packages. There’s one to suit every budget and requirement, so contact us for a quote. You never know what’s waiting to be discovered!
We will aim to trace your direct ancestors (and their siblings) back to at least the beginning of the 1800s, and further if records are available.
We will provide information about when and where your ancestors were born; where they lived; when they married; when they died; where they are buried, and what they did for a living. We also search a variety of sources to discover as much about their lives as possible. We then tell their stories as an easy-to-read report, packed with information about each and every ancestor, as well as family tree charts.
Our findings will be displayed in a beautiful Family History folder and additional copies of the report are available to purchase in the name of any other family member who features in the tree. These make ideal and unique gifts that last a lifetime.

PACKAGE FIVE:
THE WEDDING PACKAGE
This is an extra special package designed to make the perfect wedding gift, and is something for the happy couple to treasure forever. Ancestry by Heir Line will research the entire genealogy of BOTH the bride and groom, (see Package Four for an example). As part of the cost, the pair will receive two beautiful, hand-bound Storybooks detailing their own family history, and the family they married into. Additional personalised copies of the books are available to purchase in the name of anyone in the couple’s family trees: these make lovely gifts for the parents of the bride and groom. The research can, of course, be updated should the couple have children together.
Genealogy is one of the UK’s fastest growing industries, thanks in part to popular TV shows such as the BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are? It is a fascinating subject, but exceptionally time consuming and often difficult and frustrating. That’s what we are here for! Not only can we successfully interpret historical records and trace hundreds of your ancestors, we are also able to delve much further into history, and can produce a detailed report, presented in book format for your entire family to enjoy. The book is PACKED with fascinating facts, providing you with a wealth of information about each and every ancestor, rather than just names and dates on a family tree.
