Karen Murphy Genealogy Research

I had been looking into my paternal side of the family for a number of years and have continually struggled to find the birth of my grandfather Henry Davies and continue my paternal lineage, which is important to me. I decided that maybe a fresh professional approach was needed and decided to turn to Karen Murphy for assistance in this regard. I am pleased to say that that decision has proved to be correct and that Karen has made the breakthrough I was hoping for. Whilst we are still unable presently to find my grandfathers birth details, Karen has succeeded in identifying and establishing my paternal lineage back to Ireland enabling me to continue on my journey. If you find yourself in my position or are unsure of how to proceed, you may want to consider using the knowledge and resources of a professional like Karen Murphy, you won't be disappointed. .

Just received my family tree from Karen, after being impressed by the one she did for my husband a few years ago. I'm amazed she managed to find out so much, even though it threw up a few problems for her. I will definitely recommend, and will definitely use again in the future. .

Another piece of fantastic work by Karen. I did an initial bit of digging for a friend of mine, and then recommended Karen's services. Why would you go anywhere else? The report we received was informative, insightful and presented so well. I highly recommend. Thank you Karen!

Karen worked tirelessly on producing both my Paternal and Maternal family tree, I presented the end product in a book form to each sibling as a Christmas present, they were overwhelmed, Thankyou Karen.

Absolutely sensational work. I have worked with Karen Murphy Genealogy previously and it was so good I asked for more family history. It was fabulous and so interesting. Karen was wonderful to work with, very professional. I have now referred a friend who is excited to work with Karen on her family history!

I recently asked Karen to do my fathers side, after Karen did some work for my mother previously. The service was once again excellent, the information was detailed and concise. Overall, a good value for money.

Collaborating with Karen on our family history was an excellent experience. She helped us to solve a longstanding family mystery which other had tried and failed to figure out in the past. The speed and quality of her work was first class, and she was always available to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend working with Karen and it's something I look forward to doing again in the future!

I feel fortunate to have found Karen to take me on this journey back in time and connecting me with my family history. Nothing was to much trouble for her and on a number of occassions wnen there were pieces of information which I had failed to provide she was only to happy to revisit the history and add the information which I had later sent her. I really do believe that doing this work is a passion for Karen rather than a money stream, she just wants to produce the best version of your history as possible. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen to carry out family history for anyone in the future.

Karen helped me complete all 4 lines of my family tree over the last year. She has been absolutely brilliant, and a dream to work with. She clearly understood the brief and worked diligently and speedily to produce a report, with supporting certificates, well beyond my expectations. She clearly has so much knowledge and is so easy to work with. Thank you so much Karen. If working with everyone else could be so effortless and easy, life would be so much easier!

It was a pleasure to work with Karen. She did exactly what we asked, uncovering family mysteries and answering long held questions. I loved receiving our journal. It will be a lasting legacy for future generations. Thank you Karen.

If I could have given more than 5 stars I would have. The work that Karen and her team completed for me was above and beyond anything I imagined it would be. Where possible photos were included which meant more to me than anything and the attention to detail was astonishing. The value for money in what turned out to be a more intensives job than originally supposed is outstanding and for anyone reading this, if you have ever wondered about your roots then I HIGHLY recommend this company. So happy and amazed with the content. Correspondence with Karen was prompt and on going. She kept me informed all the way and is so approachable even from my home of California USA that I found she became like an extended member of my family that seemed genuinely interested in my ancestors. I WILL be using this company to finish off all of my lines and will be letting Ancestry and Find My Past go as there is no way they could provide the detail and personal attention I was given.

Karen researched 1 line of my family tree as a jump off present for my sister who has been talking about doing our family tree for years! The whole experience has been a pleasure and I'm sure we will enjoy researching the other 3 lines with Karens help.

Karen carried out a Family Tree project for me. Not only was the work of very good quality but it was also carried out in a timely manner. Most importantly, Karen is delightful to deal with and does not over-promise and under-deliver. I would be more than happy (and indeed shall) recommend Karen to others.

I have worked with Karen twice now. First time to help me research a burial plot going back to the early 20th century, which then sparked a new journey for me in the second round of engagement. The result being a fabulous tree that linked me to an area that still holds a lot of my heritage and family members but also took me across the waters too with a few surprises and sighs along the way. This was my very own "who do you think you are" and for that, myself and my family will be eternally grateful to Karen and her amazing skills and patience. Thank you Karen.

Karen has helped me with my family history research numerous times over the past year. She has not only managed to find things in my family tree that I'd not managed to find, but she was also able to validate what I'd done, question where I'd made mistakes, and crucially been able to solve one of our family mysteries. Communication with Karen has always been excellent, over email, and she's gone above and beyond what was initially requested. I'd have no hesitation in recommending her, or using her services again.

Fantastic service and so easy to communicate with. Love the results. I may well be back for more family lines as it’s such a lovely gift to give to people. I looked at quite a few websites and thought Karen appeared as the best, she is! Highly recommended.

Very much worth the wait! I am absolutely amazed at the wealth of information within the finished piece of work. I did not expect Karen to have traced so far back into our family history and to be able to provide such detail such as ships my great great granddad had worked on and even what he was paid, maps of where family had lived, employment etc, even where family members are buried and plot numbers. We even have a holiday planned on the back of this to explore further. Definitely value for money once you can see the hours and hours of work which have gone into this - so much so I have now requested the other side of my family tree to be explored! This was more detailed than I imagined and my dad is over the moon with it. Can't wait for the next one! Thank you!

I can’t thank Karen enough for the work she did on my family tree. I thought I knew some of it, but Karen brought it more to life. Karen also helped me with some guidance on how to deal with finding my grandfather’s family as they had no knowledge of our side of the family. Karen is professional, approachable and extremely helpful about interpreting the information I didn’t understand. This work is the baseline that our family can build on going forward to ensure we don’t forget those that went before us and for us to understand who we are. Thank you Karen.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter's 21st birthday as she is really interested in our family history. Karen is absolutely amazing. We started off by having a chat about what I wanted and she delivered completely. I was kept up to date with where the team were up to with my search; if any additional paperwork was needed I was contacted before this was purchased. I cannot recommend Karen enough, she is an absolute delight. Once I had received my family tree she even recommended folders to sort it in. The only problem I have now is keeping it a secret from my daughter for another 2 months! I'm so excited I want to show her now. Thanks so much Karen. Lisa Harrickie.
