Many people want to complete their family tree or discover more about their family’s past but don’t know where to start. The first place to look is within your own family documents as a family tree can be started much more easily if these are to hand. If you’re unsure what information is stored on particular documents then our Understanding Documents section can help.
It might be that you want to trace both your parent’s lineage or start off with one line and see where it takes you. The choice is completely up to you and we will be happy to help you in any way that we can .
If you already have official documents from your family history then you’re all set to begin the journey into your past. Please complete our Enquiry Form to get in touch with Meet Your Family and start your journey.
In addition to tracing ancestors, we can also trace descendants and have had excellent results in finding living relatives.
What we require from you
- Your birth details e.g. copy of Birth Certificate
- Your parents Marriage/ Birth/Death Certificates

Please see our Understanding Documents section if you require any help in locating information.
