My company has been established to make a link with your ancestors by researching your family history and providing copies of extracts from Birth, Marriage and Death Register entries.
I will also be looking at the estates of the deceased where they have passed intestate (with no will in place) in an attempt to reunite the proceeds of those estates with any living relatives.

Malcolm has exceeded my expectations, I am overwhelmed by the amount of detail he has provided.
Thoroughly professional, you need patience, the process cannot be rushed obtaining certificates and researching.
If you are contemplating having your family traced then I would certainly recommend Bon-Accord and his fees are very reasonable.

Malcolm was extremely helpful and efficient, communicating with me at every step. He found the information I was looking for in a short time and the service was very reasonably priced.

Firstly let me say how professional Malcolm Gaud was in his approach to my enquiry about the research I needed. He quoted a price but never asked for anything upfront a trust was secured straight away, he answered any query I had during the process, this job is not done overnight, it is months in the making so if do decide to do it have patience. I received my parcel from Malcolm in time as we discussed for santa to deliver, what I received was beyond anything I could have imagined, the details this man has done confounded me as to how he puts it all together, I can only give Malcolm the highest praise where possible, no words will describe how my wife will feel when she gets her present.In closing Malcolm thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are a credit to your profession and I would never hesitate to recommend YOU to any one thinking about doing this, again thank you keep up the brilliant work.

I used Bark to search for a genealogist, I wanted a family tree put together for my husband’s 60th birthday. I chose Bon-Accord because in the first communication we had, Malcolm was upfront about the cost which was much appreciated. The whole process was a journey that revealed some surprising information, giving my husband some trails to follow in the future. I received a beautiful family tree, plus three condensed versions for display purposes and a huge binder of indexed information to support the findings of the family members. To say that my husband was surprised would be an understatement. Malcolm kept me updated through the whole process and was extremely accommodating with the various requests I had. All I can say is… if you’re thinking of getting your family tree put together, Bon-Accord will not disappoint. More...

I chose Bon Accord after speaking to three of your professionals,
I found that BA was easy to talk to, he was understanding and fair with his prices.
He has been in touch twice since I hired him and keeps me informed of any progress

Mr Malcolm Gauld responded quickly to my request and once I made contact, put me at my ease and explained the process clearly. He has been in touch regularly by email and phone, is a good listener and enthusiastic and has made my journey of discovery most interesting. More...

really knoweldge, personable and enthusiastic with great determination to help you in your search. couldn't ask for better support, guidance and results. thank you
Kelly
Malcolm was very accommodating and so communicative. He worked around my time schedule with emails and phone calls, and always ensured he understood what I was after. He managed to develop my ideas for a family tree and the results are outstanding, even with the lack of Irish records due to no fault of his own but the Dublin records office being destroyed. He was so friendly and worked within my budget to create a once in a lifetime present for my parents, and the quality of the poster and folder was excellent. Cannot rate his work and customer service highly enough. Thankyou Malcolm! More...

I wasn’t happy with the result after 10 hours of work which I have paid for, I don’t think I will use again. But I need to get back to him to tell him why I wasn’t happy

Hi Heather, I wanted to follow up to understand where I could improve my services to others and where I failed to meet your expectations, any feedback will be a positive for me as my business continues to grow. Thank you Malcolm
What do you love most about your job?
The best thing about my job is getting the satisfaction of finding the ancestors that my clients are looking for, preparing a family tree and providing the evidence of births, marriages and passing through copies of the relevant certificates and ultimately passing on a complete record in a binder for passing down the family.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I’d been working on my tree for several years and enjoyed it so much that I offered my services to a few friends who said that they were impressed with what I had done for them. After giving it some consideration I figured that I may be able to make a living from it.
Why should our clients choose you?
My experience should give clients confidence that I can provide what they are looking for at a reasonable price and in a timely manner.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
The majority of my work is carried out remotely from my customers. I provide an initial free consultation to understand my client’s requirements. From there my work is done primarily online and communications with my clients are done by phone, e-mail and through social media.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Thankfully, because I am a sole trader, I work from home and no clients visit me personally, Covid-19 has not had a serious impact on my business.
Family History
I can provide family trees, copies of records of birth, marriage and death certificates as well as transcriptions of these certificates.
Genealogy
I will research your family tree, provide copies of records and certificates as well as transcriptions of these records
Irish passport applications
I can help with the research around your Irish ancestry to assist your application for an Irish passport.
