Over mij
Hello, I’m Kerry — a genealogy enthusiast with 8+ years of experience tracing family stories across the United Kingdom, Ireland and South Africa. I help uncover ancestors, build family trees and tackle stubborn “brick wall” mysteries using historical records. If you’re curious about your roots, send me a surname, location and time period. Genealogy can be a little like detective work — not every clue leads somewhere, but the discoveries along the way can be fascinating. Let’s go hunting for your ancestors. You never know what stories are waiting to be rediscovered! 🔎🌳... Lees meer

Werkervaring

Independent Family History Researcher

Ancestral Historian • ZZP

Jan 2018 - Present8 yrs 4 mos

Passionate independent genealogist with over 8 years of experience researching family histories, building detailed family trees, and solving complex genealogical challenges. I specialise in research across the United Kingdom, Ireland, and South Africa, including immigration records, adoption-related enquiries, and DNA match analysis. My work involves the careful use of major genealogy databases such as Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, Newspapers.com, and Findmypast, alongside the analysis of historical records including census returns, parish registers, civil registrations, probate records, military records, and archival documents. My focus is on constructing accurate, evidence-based family trees, breaking through genealogical “brick walls,” and reconstructing family histories through careful analysis of historical sources. For both personal and client research projects, I produce clearly presented, fully sourced reports that may include pedigree charts, family group sheets, narrative summaries, and GEDCOM files. Achievements include resolving long-standing research obstacles and helping clients uncover previously unknown ancestors through ethical, methodical, and well-documented genealogical research.
