✓ Genealogical research depends on the survival, availability and accessibility of historical records, so specific discoveries cannot be guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before we begin uncovering your family story.

How many generations do you research?

The scope depends on the package you choose and the records available. Your package description explains the typical research scope.

Can I upgrade to a larger package later?

Yes. If your research uncovers a story you'd like to explore further, you can choose a more extensive research package.

How long does it take?

Your estimated turnaround will be shown with your package. Research times can vary depending on the complexity of the family and the availability of historical records.

Is this a digital product?

Yes. Your completed family-history report is delivered digitally, making it easy to read, save and share with your family.

What will I receive?

You will receive a beautifully designed digital family-history report bringing together the records, discoveries, places and stories uncovered during your research.

Do you research outside the UK?

My British Roots specialises in British family history. Where a family story connects Britain with another country, overseas records may sometimes form part of the research where appropriate and available.
