The communication working with Katie was excellent throughout and the results were better than we could have ever expected. Her professionalism and care made the whole process feel special and helped discover parts of our family history we could never have found on our own we would happily recommend her to anyone interested in their ancestry More...

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Teresa. It was a real pleasure working with you and researching your family history. This was a particularly rewarding project, tracing multiple branches of the family across six generations and bringing together the records, photographs and family information we uncovered along the way. I especially enjoyed creating the large A2 illustrated family tree, incorporating family photographs alongside the research so that the finished piece could be printed and enjoyed by the family. I’m delighted that the results exceeded your expectations and that we were able to uncover parts of your family story that you hadn’t previously known. Thank you again for trusting me with your family history and for such a wonderful recommendation.

Thank you so much, John. It was a real pleasure working on your family history, and I’m delighted to hear the research exceeded your expectations. I’m always committed to providing clear, accurate and meaningful findings, especially for clients exploring genealogy for the first time. If you ever decide to continue the journey or explore another branch of the family, I’d be very happy to help. Thanks again for the wonderful feedback.
What do you love most about your job?
I genuinely love the research process — uncovering forgotten names and stories and bringing them back to life so they’re never lost again. It’s my true passion, and it perfectly reflects the saying: “Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.”
What inspired you to start your own business?
My love of family history began over 20 years ago with my own research, and it quickly became a lifelong passion. I found such joy in uncovering stories, connecting generations, and helping relatives understand where they came from that I wanted to do the same for others. KinTracer was born from that passion — turning curiosity into connection and helping families see their history come alive.
Why should our clients choose you?
I combine over 20 years of personal research experience with 8 years of helping families professionally trace their roots. Every project is handled personally — no templates or outsourced work — with a focus on accuracy, clear communication, and storytelling. I don’t just trace names and dates; I help you uncover the real lives, journeys, and connections that make your family history meaningful.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes — all my services are available online. Most family history records are now digital, and I hold active subscriptions to the major UK genealogy databases. This allows me to research, analyse, and share findings efficiently with clients anywhere in the world.
