Family Tree Packages
Discover Your Roots with a Professional Family Tree
Are you interested in tracing your family tree but not sure how? Get in touch today for a dedicated family tree service! My family tree packages cater for a variety of research requirements and budgets, ensuring you can see your family tree in meticulous detail.
Family trees come in different shapes and sizes
A family tree is a unique gift to mark a special anniversary or birthday. A number of options are suggested here, to cater for a variety of research requirements and budgets, but I can also do something different, just for you. Just contact me.
All Family Tree Packages
All family tree packages include an attractive, illustrated summary of the research conducted, a detailed research report, copies and transcriptions of the key historical documents found, and a copy of your family tree, all beautifully bound. You can also include family photographs or images of places of family importance, for a more personalised product.
Starter Family Tree
This package was created as an introduction to the world of family history and is perfect for those on a budget who want a quality product. Research is focussed on a single couple, usually one set of the client's grandparents, but can provide information on up to four generations of the family if the client and their parents are also added to the family tree.
Traditional Family Tree
This package focuses on one surname and is my most popular offering. Here your family line is researched backwards up to four generations from the client, looking at one surname only, but including the names of siblings at each generation. Research typically takes the family tree back to late 1700s / early 1800s, and reports tend to be around 70-90 pages.
Direct Ancestors Tree
The direct ancestors package looks at the family in a different way to the other packages. Instead of looking at whole family groups, including siblings, only the client’s direct ancestors are researched. The resultant family tree will include parents, all four grandparents, and up to eight great-grandparents. Reports are typically around 90-120 pages.
Look Forwards to Your Family’s Past!
I will research your family tree backwards in time, using professional search techniques to make sense of often confusing records and documents that will unlock your family’s past. The family tree packages listed are suggestions only and can be modified. If you would like something a little different, just let me know. Do note that successful research depends on a number of factors, such as record survival and availability. Please also refer to my
terms of service for more information.

Testimonials
“I approached Karen to research my family ancestry back to my great-great grandparents. It was for a Ruby anniversary gift to my parents who are avid followers of the TV programme 'Who Do You Think You Are?'. I knew it would be a big project to undertake and expected there to be some blanks or gaps when it was compiled. When the completed work arrived, it was well presented and the information extremely detailed and comprehensive. It contained some interesting facts about our family members and their occupations that we were previously unaware of. My parents are thrilled with the finished article and as there is so much detail, refer back to it from time to time. I will definitely approach Karen again if I require further research to be carried out on my ancestry.”
Debbie, Essex
“I was very impressed by the research carried out by Karen Cummings on the paternal side of my family. The report was informative, thorough, on time, and the certificates attached were very welcome for my research. I will not hesitate to employ her again for my research on both sides of my family.”
Roslyn, Canada
“When I first started to look at who could help me research my family tree, it quickly became apparent that there were lots of companies out there on the internet who could offer what is basically an ‘off the shelf report’ for what appears to be relatively low cost and probably little reward at the end of the day. I was looking for something more, a professional well qualified researcher who could produce a bespoke piece of work and Karen has certainly met my expectations. The document Karen produced for my family is well written, presented and clearly researched. I have no hesitation in recommending Karen if you want a family tree you can hand down to your own family and keep for future generations as I did.”
Sid Lambert
“Thank you for the superb family history you produced for my wife. She was so thrilled that it kept her quiet for ages! Seriously, not only were details of many generations clearly presented, with full supporting documentation, but the little extra details about some of the ancestors gave extra life to the whole process - so it's almost as if we knew them personally. Congratulations on a job well done, I would be more than happy to recommend your service to anyone.”
Brian, West Midlands
