Researching your family history can be a time-consuming and sometimes frustrating process, with countless opportunities for following the wrong path as you delve back in time. Subscriptions to family history sites can be expensive and no one site alone can provide all the information needed to accurately build your family tree. To avoid making costly mistakes and to ensure an accurate family pedigree, why not enlist the services of a professional genealogical researcher? Whether you require a complete family history or simply some help tracing an elusive ancestor, Lines of Descent is here to help.

Lines of Descent is a genealogical research service, which has access to a wide range of UK records, set up to help you discover your roots. Choose from one of our fixed price research packages or commission a specific piece of research tailored to your individual requirements. We provide a friendly, reliable service, so contact us now for a free consultation with no obligation.

Using our professional experience to build your family tree, we aim to do more than merely provide a list of names and dates. We have several, fixed priced all inclusive packages, or you can contact us with  a specific research requirement and a chosen budget or  even commission research at an hourly rate. We also provide Gift Vouchers for that special occasion.

Why not consider combining a Family Tree Package with the restoration of some of your treasured, but damaged family photographs?
