Services
If you are researching your family history and encountering uncertainty, missing information, or conflicting sources, I offer specialised genealogical services designed to provide structured, evidence-led support. My role is to offer informed guidance grounded in long-term research experience, careful record assessment, and clear communication about evidential boundaries.
Consultations
One-to-one consultations are available for individuals seeking structured, evidence-led guidance on specific genealogical research challenges.
Workshops and Educational Events
Structured sessions designed to support understanding of Black genealogy and historical research methods. These events prioritise evidence-led analysis, responsible interpretation of records, and clear explanation of historical context.
Research Areas
Surname Origins
Exploring surname usage and historical context can help clarify identity questions and rule out unreliable assumptions. This work examines historical records, naming patterns, and documented usage to assess what conclusions are supported by evidence and what remains speculative.
Why This Matters
Understanding family history can be significant for many people seeking clarity or perspective. This work prioritises accuracy, responsibility, and respect for historical realities, recognising both the value of ancestry research and the limits imposed by surviving records.
Stay Connected
Updates on talks, publications, and events are shared through the mailing list. This is the most reliable way to stay informed about upcoming opportunities and new resources.
Detailed research methods and historical explanations are explored in consultations, talks, and published case studies.
