Welcome

Ever wanted to research your family tree but could never find the time to do it?
Don't know what happened to Great Uncle Bill during the war?
Did your Great Great Grandmother marry more than once?
Well we at YOUR ANCESTORS can hopefully answer those and many other questions about your family tree with our unique research service. How does it work?
We ask for as much information about yourself, your parents & your grand parents that you know of and for a small initial fee we will start building your family tree.
Our search will begin by scouring birth, marriage & death records as well as the 10 yearly censuses for details of your ancestors.
We will also look through military and immigration records to see if anyoneserved in either of the 2 world wars or if they emigrated.
If we find that you are related to someone famous(or infamous!) we will let you know.
Any photos of places your ancestors lived or where they were laid to rest that we find will be added to your family tree for a comprehensive collection of family records.
When we have found 100 of your ancestors there will be another small fee to pay to view what we have found. After that you can decide on whether we continue to search your family tree or to stop. If you want us to stop searching, your family tree will be available to view for a further month before being archived but never deleted.

The Chosen

main imageWe are the chosen. In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again. To tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family; you would be proud of us." How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who I am, and why I do the things I do.
