- Mr. Paul Beetham, Chairman of Kingfisher Windows, West Yorkshire.
Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE! Amazing - thank you very, very much. The most exciting part of the tree for me was discovering my long lost cousin. I’m dying to speak to them and meet up perhaps. I just can’t believe it - you are fantastic, did you know that? You have changed my life.

You're wonderful; my hero. Here in Australia we simply don't have people of your calibre. The Scottish records seem to have been the biggest hurdles, and no other genealogists have been able to solve this mystery - I’ve just been offered refunds all the time. Thank you again and when we come over to England next year my partner and I would love to meet and thank you in person.
