Hi, I’m Theresa and I'm the founder of Little Branches Genealogy.
My fascination with history started with a simple question: Who were the ordinary people who came before us, and what were their daily lives really like? This curiosity drove me to study history deeply, leading to my MA degree in History.
Through my academic training, I learned how to navigate complex archives, read difficult old handwriting, and spot clues that others might miss. I realized that my favorite part of historical work is uncovering the personal, human stories hidden inside dusty old documents.
Why Work With Me?
Family history is more than just a list of names and dates on a chart. It is about understanding the real lives, struggles, and triumphs of your ancestors.
- Academic Standards: I bring university-level research skills, accuracy, and thorough source checking to every project.
- Continuous Professional Growth: To ensure my clients receive the absolute highest standard of genealogical expertise, I am currently working towards the Advanced Certificate in Family History Skills and Strategies.
