Testimonials


“I've been impressed by the professional standard and quality of Karen's research work and reports, which is why Sticks Research Agency is happy to pass across any enquiries we receive that fall within her geographical area of operation.”

Dr Nick Barratt, TV Genealogist & Research Director, Sticks Research Agency

“I was very happy with the work completed by Karen Cummings at Professional Family History. I normally do as much research as I can myself but being in Australia, I was unable to access many of the parish records needed and had to hire a professional researcher. I found Karen to be very thorough and provided additional ideas for research when some of the standards searches didn’t find the “the hoped for results”. Karen’s reports were detailed and provided details of what had been searched so that duplication didn’t occur. She was meticulous in noting even small details, which I was impressed with, as one never knows when the smallest detail may help later on.”

Judy, Australia

“I have every confidence in your very thorough and professional research. I am very much appreciating your contact during research so that we can decide which direction or steps should be taken and keeping me up to date with your progress.”

Janette, West Lothian

“Thank you for your last email and the information in it. Should I wish to research Elizabeth Nash further I would certainly be happy to employ you to do this. Thank you very much for all the help you have given me thus far.”

Doug, Australia

“Just a note to say thank you for the work you did for me sorting the problem of the will of John Jessop. I am now able to present the true and correct will and do not have to worry about any other names associated with what you found to be an incorrect entry.”
