see moreHaving worked in the Finance sector for over 35 years, both as a Partner and Head of Trust and Corporate for an international firm of accountants, I turned my attention to my passion: genealogy. After training with the University of Strathclyde, I established 'Kathy Gillen Genealogy'.
I am so lucky to be working with an excellent team, made up of family members, close friends and researchers whom I have known for many years.
The researchers are a mixture of experienced and trainee practitioners, based mostly in Jersey and the UK.
Clients are usually in Jersey - where I am based - and the UK, but some are further afield e.g. U.S., Canada
Research tends to focus on the Channel Islands, UK, Ireland, US, Canada and Australia, although I was involved in a project recently with Baghdad and India connections. When necessary, I work with specialists in the location where I am researching.
I conduct research using both traditional methods and DNA testing.
I am a past fellow of the Institute of Directors and attained Chartered Director status, and a retired member of STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners).
For leisure, I like to travel, walk, sing and go to the theatre.

Your ancestry isn't just a list of names and dates, it's the colorful tale of your family's past and present. It's what gives your name its special meaning and continues to shape your story every day.

I build accurate family trees full of historical records, immigration and naturalization documents, newspaper articles, photographs, ship manifests, and more.

Is there a mystery within those gnarled branches and fallen leaves of your family history tree?
Are you intrigued or perplexed about the history of your ancestors?
Or are you in search of that final resting place of an ancestor within Yorkshire and beyond?
Hello! My name is Tee Bylo and I am your genealogist, writer, historical researcher and grave hunter here at The Dead Sleuth.
The Dead Sleuth is a registered company located in the City of York offering professional genealogical services for those looking to solve the riddles and absurdities of their own family history.
With access to a wealth of local repositories and archives throughout Yorkshire and beyond – I work with those who need an experienced and dedicated history sleuth by their side as they embark on a fascinating journey to uncover the lives of their ancestors.
From genealogical advice, family history research, probate transcription, archive retrieval, to photography, lineage reports and ancestral storytelling – The Dead Sleuth offers a rich menu of research services.
And, if I’m not in search of a missing ancestor or poring over the details on a newly discovered death certificate or trawling through the parish records in search of a burial entry – I’ll be wandering among the tombstones somewhere with notebook and camera in hand.
As a enthusiastic taphophile with an interest in tombstone symbolism - I also undertake grave hunts with the use of parish records and newspapers as the location and image capture of the resting place of our ancestors can be a poignant piece of the jigsaw.
In the absence of a marked grave I can also research, and photograph the surrounding vicinity in which an ancestor rests.
I share the tales and triumphs of family history and of my wanderings among the tombstones in search of the unquiet dead as a geneablogger at Graveyard Squirrel.
The Dead Sleuth also offers bespoke ancestral tours for visitors who are curious about understanding their family history in the context of location and would love to walk in the footsteps of an ancestor, visit the place they once called home or stand at the foot of their grave in a quiet churchyard.
However, as every research commission is as unique as the person who is requesting it – I offer an initial thirty minute FREE consultation to ensure that I am the perfect sleuth for my client.
As a public speaker, I am happy to chat with eager ears and curious minds about tales of Victorian criminality, tombstone tourism, sleuthing those elusive ancestors and fallen women.
Passionate about the benefits of Ancestral Healing – I also work alongside those who are seeking to understand, reveal and free inherited grief and trauma from their family histories.
And with my love of family history, storytelling and Victorian crime – I am the founder of The Polite Tourist which offers unique walks through the unquiet streets of York, Scarboro’, Leeds and beyond.
You can discover The Dead Sleuth on Trustpilot, X. Facebook, and Instagram.
