Open for Family History Business

June 17, 2020

Some of you may have already seen the announcements from Pharos Teaching & Tutoring Ltd, a leading provider in online genealogy education. I have recently purchased the company from previous owner, Helen Osborn, and am now the new Managing Director. You can read the full announcement here: Pharos Tutors under new ownership.


Open for business

What does this mean for my research business and clients? In reality not a huge amount at all. For the last few years I have been spending around half my time on research projects and half on tutoring whether for Pharos, for the IHGS or writing talks and presenting courses at the Society of Genealogists.

Right now I will need to dedicate a higher proportion of time to Pharos, but I also am booked up with current client research work. I won’t be taking on any new clients for a while, with the exception perhaps of a wee project or two, and I am fully booked until around this time next year now but that in itself is not that unusual.


So, it is very much business as usual at Professional Family History and I am going to enjoy combining research, DNA consultation and tutoring with my new role at Pharos.


Oh, and if you are interested in learning more about our courses, head over to Pharos Tutors now!
