Qualifications

Whilst researching my own family history I discovered that the majority of my ancestors seldom ventured outside the South East of England. My research therefore mainly focussed upon London and the southern counties of Kent and Sussex. Consequently, over the years I gradually gained a considerable in-depth knowledge of the area and what it's many local and national record offices/archives have to offer the family historian.

What started off as a part time hobby many years ago gradually expanded into a full time profession which, with the collaboration of a number of other, similarly qualified, researchers from other parts of the country, eventually led to the creation of Family Matters Research - a friendly and efficient organisation providing a family history research service throughout England.

Services

Family Matters Research provides the family historian with a comprehensive range of services which can be tailored to suit individual needs in a cost effective manner. Whilst essentially remaining a small family-run organisation, with the assistance of our fellow, locally based, researchers, we are able to visit all main local/national repositories on a regular basis and, with the benefit of our local knowledge, are able to fulfil research objectives, both quickly and efficiently. We welcome and value all enquiries and are always happy to provide free, detailed evaluations/advice on request.

Fees

Our competitively priced fees commence at just £5 and are individually calculated to reflect specific requirements. For full details and for further information concerning the various services which we provide please visit our website or contact us direct to obtain a copy of our informative leaflet.
