Family Tree Research
Are you wanting to find out more about your family Ancestry? Hidden Histories Genealogy offers a personal service enabling you to unlock your family’s past. Run by myself, Heather Dawson, I am an experienced researcher having researched many thousands of individuals and a large number of family names. I offer a variety of realistically priced packages and a personal service which can be adapted to your needs. Together we can explore the historical sources to discover what your ancestors did and where they lived.

Business Philosophy:
I believe that an appreciation of the past enriches our understanding of the present. A realisation of our family’s ancestry helps us to understand how our family has come to be what they are today. It helps us to understand the ups and downs and resilience that many of our ancestors had through difficult times in the past.
Research takes time and I realise that many people do not have this time available. I offer people the support needed to explore the hidden past and so enrich their understanding of both their family and the past. I am happy to carry out all the research independently or to share my findings and work with my clients as we travel back into their family’s past together.

What clients say:
“I was given a Hidden Family Histories family tree as a Christmas present. It was such a beautiful gift to learn all about our families past. It was also great for choosing baby names if you want to have family links and meaning behind the names you choose”. Katie A.
“My family tree is really fascinating. It is great to see how the family names I recognise fit together and also how the family has developed over generations. The family tree is well presented and is a great informative decoration and conversation starter. Heather also provided a detailed portfolio of documents and evidence which led to her findings and was happy to talk it all through in a passionate and professional way. I would definitely recommend for those wanting to learn more about their family histories and as a great gift for others.” Rebecca D.
Being from a family who are separated by distance I’ve never really been able to look into my historical family tree. The research and results provided opened up doors that I never expected and I would highly recommend others to this process. Dean K.
Heather from Hidden Histories did a fantastic piece of work tracing my family all the way back to the 18th century. The research was thorough and I was impressed by the quality of information Heather was able to unearth. It was fascinating to see this mapped out on a family tree. I would highly recommend!
