The Sum of You

Before I started working with Marilyn (The Sum Of You) I knew little about my antecedents and had only a few photographs from my parents to shed light on their generation of family and friends. It didn't take long for her to open up the (to me) treasure chest and reveal people and their exploits which I could never have discovered on my own. Throughout she has been as keen on finding out what there is to be discovered in my family tree as I am and the results have been fascinating. She goes beyond the call of duty to reveal the personalities hidden behind the usual series of birth, marriage and death dates and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. More...

Having embarked on tracing my family history it became clear I needed a professional to help.
I discovered Marilyn (The Sum of You) and we met up, I can't compliment her enough, professional, knowledgeable, linked to her ability to navigate systems and websites, an absolute revelation, DNA results analysed, family stories uncovered so grateful thank you Marilyn.

It was an absolute pleasure. Gem of a client!

A pleasure to work with Marilyn, very keen on getting history right. Keeps you well informed. Would have no hesitation in recording her.

Great information linked with a personable approach.

Marilyn undertook family research on my behalf to find out about my wife’s family of which, other than her parents, we knew very little.
With very little to go on, Marilyn did a truly amazing job. Her enthusiasm and fun character made the whole thing a real joy and with great results. She established that my wife’s family had relatives in Australia and many interesting stories about them.
I highly recommend Marilyn to anyone looking to find out about their families, you will find it difficult to find better!!
Thank you for everything Marilyn, you are a true star!

Total enthusiasm & joy of the work she is undertaking for me

Commissioned Marilyn to research the paternal and maternal sides of my wife's family as a birthday gift. We held only brief documentary information in respect of my wife's paternal side and nothing in relation to her maternal side. Despite this apparent lack of information Marilyn was able to surpass her role on this project, providing an unique insight into my wife's families and in the process encouraged direct engagement with the process by collating personal recollections of individuals, thereby bringing their stories to life for future family generations. Her enthusiasm is infectious and as a consequence I have no qualms in recommending her to anyone who is about to set off on their personal journey. More...

Could not possibly recommend Marilyn more highly, as she offers a full 5 Star service - in every conceivable respect.

Marilyn's totally professional approach combined with a depth of remarkable technical knowledge and sheer enthusiasm, which are all utterly remarkable.

Marilyn also offers such outstanding value for money. Am genuinely hoping to be able to use Marilyn again to pursue further family lines...

Marilyn has filled a previous 3 Century total void and vacuum in the knowledge of my own Family history for which will forever be most gratefully appreciated. More...

She Got in touch promptly and it only took a short chat with me and she knew exactly what I needed and had started to help me get sorted.
