ANZESTRY

Family photographs are one of our most direct links to more recent generations of ancestors

Have you ever wondered about where your roots lie? Do you know who your great-grandparents were? Did your family originate in England, or were they from Ireland, or another European country? These are the sorts of questions that can be answered by ANZESTRY. Our research into your own personal family history will look at original documentation such as birth certificates, censuses, parish registers and wills to discover details of the lives and times of your ancestors. Genealogical research is a fascinating area of history with each person and family playing their part in the events of their time. As well as discovering who your ancestors were, ANZESTRY will help you to find out about what they did, where they lived and what their life was like. As no two people are the same, so no two family histories will be the same.

Each family history is a unique document recounting your own personal ancestry and the records used in each case will be different depending upon the circumstances, status and location of the people in question. Research starts from whatever family history information is already known, be it your great-great grandparents' wedding certificate or your own birth certificate. You may already have details of your migrant ancestor in which case the research undertaken by ANZESTRY can start in the country of their origin; or alternatively, if the start point is much more recent, research can begin with the records in your own country. Many people find that discovering information about their ancestors is a fascinating and rewarding experience. It can reaffirm a sense of continuity and heritage that has often broken through emigration and migration over the past few generations.
