How it works

  1. You buy the voucher

    Pay securely by card. The voucher PDF arrives in your inbox within minutes — print it, box it, or forward it.

  2. They redeem it online

    The recipient enters their code and tells me about their family — so the research is shaped around what they want to know, not what you guessed.

  3. The research begins

    I assess viability first, as with every project. If their research genuinely can’t succeed, the voucher is refunded in full.

Honest gift advice

Commissioned research takes three to four months — it cannot be a last-minute gift. A voucher can. That’s not a sales line; it’s how every reputable researcher in the country handles gifting, and it means the recipient gets research built around their own questions.

Redeeming a voucher?

Congratulations — someone thinks your family story is worth telling. Enter your code and as much as you know; “my grandfather’s name was Albert and he worked on the railways” is a perfectly good start.
