British Family History and Genealogy Research

Welcome to our research website for Great Britain! We sincerely hope that our website will help you determine who your British ancestors were. Here, you'll find information on England, Wales, and Scotland, as well as a number of other resources dealing with immigration to other countries. The peoples of Great Britain set down roots across the globe, and as a result have descendants in such diverse places as South Africa, India, Australia, United States and Canada.

At ProGenealogists, we have a select group of researchers who have research specialties in one or more of these locations, in addition to an extensive knowledge of research methods in Great Britain records. If you need help tracing your British ancestors, whether you live in Sydney, New York, Edinburgh or London, we are available to assist you in this endeavor. Please just ask for a free estimate and a professional will review your research problem and then get back to you.

There are many aspects of British research, and we have the researchers available to solve ancestry problems in any location and time period. Among these are Paul C. Reed, FASG, and Neil D. Thompson PhD, LLB, CG, FASG, FSG, who both excel with medieval research and migration to North America in colonial times. John M. Kitzmiller, II and Charles Hughes are familiar with many aspects of research both in North America and Great Britain, and are familiar with Scotland's history and heritage. They are the perfect candidates to deal with the challenging task of tracing Scots-Irish and Welsh ancestors back to Great Britain. Neil D. Holden, who is a native of Sussex, England, is also the author of much of the information on this site. He is familiar with the records of England, as well as with the history and geography of the country, an invaluable asset. Some of our researchers for Great Britain live and work in Great Britain, including Helen Whittle. This represents just a sample of the expertise ProGenealogists can draw on in order to help solve your British research problems.

We invite you to visit the Great Britain Genealogy Sleuth page in order to start the search for your British ancestors. You'll find many of the invaluable resources that we use in order to solve our clients' research problems. However, as vast as this body of information is, it represents just a fraction of the genealogically relevant resources that exist. Without access to items such as church, tax, electoral and military sources, there is only so far you can go. ProGenealogists has access to an enormous volume of information, on film at the Family History Library and on site at the hundreds of repositories in Great Britain. When your British research comes to a brick wall, ProGenealogists will be there to help you.

If you need help with a particularly challenging part of your English, Welsh, or Scottish genealogy research, please feel free to contact us for a free estimate. Our rates are very competitive, and choosing ProGenealogists will give you the peace of mind of knowing that your research challenges are being investigated by the very best researchers available.
