Work as a genealogist is rarely dull. My research over the past fifteen years has revealed an incredibly diverse collection of life stories, from mining communities in Wales to circus entertainers in Russia. In this talk I discuss many aspects of my work, which are both informative and entertaining. I reveal a selection of fascinating documents, and regale the audience with some of the more unusual and amazing family history stories I have uncovered over the years.

I am a self-employed genealogist and historian, and have always had a great interest in local history.
In my early thirties I left an office job to study for a degree in history at the University of Sussex, and ended up studying for a further five years, obtaining an MA and an MPhil.
I started up a genealogy business in 2010, and qualified as a member of AGRA (The Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives) shortly afterwards. Researching family histories is rarely dull, and every case I work on is fascinating to me.
My talks are generally both informative and entertaining.
