Hi Karen I have to say that not all researchers are terrible, this kind of publicity gives others like myself a bad reputation. I undertake family history research primarily in the West Country, Devon and Cornwall, also Surrey and Hampshire. I also undertake research of a general historical nature including obtaining copies of known documents, photography and any other wants for clients. I do not have a flashy web site but I do have knowledge and reasonsable rates and aim to get research completed with 14 days or an explanation of the time scale involved. I have clients from both the UK and overseas and welcome enquiries with no obligation.
