Tracing your family tree can be one of the most rewarding journeys you will ever undertake. By uncovering records and documents created throughout the lives of your ancestors, it becomes possible to build a picture of where your family came from, how they lived, and the events that shaped their lives.

At Family Tree Researchers, we offer a range of fixed-price family tree packages designed to suit different needs and budgets. Whether you are just beginning your family history journey or have already started researching and would like professional assistance, our packages provide a structured way to discover more about your ancestry.

Each research project is carried out by experienced family history researchers who carefully examine original historical records, archives and online databases. Our aim is not only to identify names and dates, but also to reveal the stories and circumstances that surrounded your ancestors’ lives.

What Our Family Tree Packages Include

All of our research packages include a comprehensive family history report containing the results of our investigation into your ancestry. This typically includes:

• A generation-by-generation narrative report explaining the research findings

• A family tree chart showing the relationships between your ancestors

• Transcriptions of relevant historical documents

• Information about where your ancestors lived and worked

• Details of occupations, marriages and family connections

• References to the original sources used during the research

Where available, we may also uncover additional information such as:

• Census returns showing family households and occupations

• Parish register entries for baptisms, marriages and burials

• Birth, marriage and death certificates

• Probate records and wills

• Military service records

• Emigration records showing when ancestors left the country

• Newspaper reports, court records or other historical documents

These records help bring your ancestors’ lives into focus and provide valuable insight into the social and historical context in which they lived.

Researching Your Direct Family Lines

Our family tree packages typically focus on researching one or more direct ancestral lines, tracing your family back through previous generations as far as surviving records allow.

This research often reveals far more than just the names of ancestors. By exploring records relating to siblings, occupations, and addresses, we can often reconstruct entire family households and the communities in which they lived.

For example, research may reveal that an ancestor was:

• a farm labourer in rural Berkshire

• a tradesman or shopkeeper in a growing Victorian town

• a soldier who served during wartime

• a craftsman, artisan or skilled worker

• part of a large extended family living in the same parish for generations

These discoveries help transform a simple list of names into a meaningful family story.

A Unique and Meaningful Gift

A professionally researched family tree also makes a thoughtful and memorable gift for a special occasion. Many of our clients commission family history research as a present for:

• milestone birthdays

• anniversaries

• retirement celebrations

• Christmas gifts

• family reunions

Receiving a detailed family history report can be a deeply personal experience, allowing people to discover ancestors they never knew existed and gain a deeper appreciation of their family heritage.

Bespoke Research Options

Every family history project is different. Some families are straightforward to trace, while others present more complex challenges due to missing records, name changes or migration.

If our standard packages do not meet your exact requirements, we can also provide bespoke family history research tailored specifically to your needs. This may include:

• researching additional family branches

• solving “brick wall” problems in your existing research

• locating specific historical records or certificates

• investigating military or local history connections

• analysing old photographs and family memorabilia

We are always happy to discuss your research goals and suggest the most suitable approach.
