Start Your Family Tree

The 10-step UK records checklist professional researchers use — plus a real sample research report, so you can see exactly what proper research looks like.

Inside the guide

  • The 10 steps, in the right order — most people start at step four and get stuck
  • Which records are free, and where the paid ones actually live
  • The certificate-ordering trick that saves the most common £11 mistake
  • How to interview elderly relatives before it’s too late (with the questions)
  • When DIY stops making sense — honestly marked
Black-and-white prints, negatives and a vintage camera laid out on a table

And the sample report

Most researchers describe their reports. I’d rather show you one. The sample is a real report format with an illustrative family, so you can judge the standard before you ever spend a penny.
