I am an experienced UK-based editor, writer, genealogist and genetic genealogist. I am an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment at University College London. I have worked on a range of books and journals on a variety of different subjects and I have written articles for various genealogy publications in the UK. I am the author of two books published by the History Press: DNA and Social Networking: A Guide to Genealogy in the Twenty-First Century (October 2011) and The Surnames Handbook (October 2012). I have been researching my own family history since 2002. I have extensive experience of English records with particular knowledge of the records for Berkshire and Devon.
Services
I offer presentations on a wide range of subjects relating to the use of DNA testing both for genealogy purposes and for forensics. I also offer lectures on surnames and the use of social media for genealogy.
I am available for writing, editing and proofreading assignments. I can also undertake genealogy research assignments at the Berkshire Record Office in Reading, England, and the Reading Central Reference Library.
