Janealogy

Jane didi a very comprehensive and fascinating study for us of our Lithuanian grandparents, when they first moved to the Uk. She unearthed facts and relatives we had not known about. The way she put the information together was wonderful because she put it into its historical, context, the neighbourhood, other immigrant communities in the area at the same time etc. She made them come back to life for us.

A thoroughly professional genealogist, upfront about the cost (very reasonable), about what can or cannot be achieved within the budget and timescale, delivered ahead of time and in choice of formats. My brief was the family history of an Edinburgh woman tracing her maternal and paternal lines back to circa 1800 including a branch on Shetland. Family legend suggested a castle might come into the story, I always doubted this and how right I was - but nice to have it confirmed one way or the other. I strongly recommend Janealogy!

I asked that my maternal grandfather's family be investigated as previous genealogists had not found his great grandparents. Also to remove the confusion surrounding the different generations as many of them had the same surname. All this and more was revealed by Janealogy's report and we couldn't be more delighted. She has traced the different lines back with easy to read graphics and given explanations, with illustrations, as to their movements in the days before registration of births etc became compulsory.

At my first meeting with Jane Harris I saw that she had a firm grasp of her subject, and from a few questions she asked me, I was able to give her a brief to work to and at the same time to get an indication what the cost would be The results I was given in a short time was all I could have hoped for, so I would recommend her to assist you to trace your Family Tree.

Jane met with me to establish the remit, which arrived as a contract the same week, laying out clearly what she planned to do and how much it would cost. Within a fortnight a thorough report arrived backed up with copies of all the relevant documentation. She had timeously and meticulously carried out a search which led to the discovery of a whole new side to our family and which, because of an illegitimate birth in 1857, I had thought was a 'dead end'. All very exciting. I can't thank Janeology enough!

Janeology was responsive, speedy and imaginative in meeting my research queries. These involved quite tricky searches involving archives in Italy, making initial contacts there - thus easing my access to them when I visit there this year - and asking the right questions to cut through bureaucracy. She produced excellently written and concise summaries and reports of her research which will be invaluable for my own future sleuthing. I can recommend her without reservation. She also likes a challenge!

I contacted jane prior to christmas to carry out research on my partners ansestors. From my very first consultation with jane I found her to be helpful, imformative and professional. Jane advised me of various options available to suit my individual requirements. She was able to advise me of particular pricing structures beforehand and explain what each package of work consisted of. Jane set out clear timescales in which she would work to and actually completed work prior to the agreed completion dates. Jane completed a contract of work that both parties agreed to with pricing structures which I found very helpful. Janes work was completed to a high standard, she was professional, helpful and clearly passionate about her work. My partner was absolutely delighted with the research that was completed. I cant recommend Jane's services highly enough and would encourage anyone thinking of having their family history researched to do so.Moreexpand_more
