Holt's Family History Research

“Richard found documents I could never have dreamed of finding…”

Rosie – Derbyshire, UK

I am Richard Holt, an experienced professional genealogist and researcher based in the East of England. I am ideally located to research your family history in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and London. I am also experienced with research in Buckinghamshire and regularly visit the county.

While I live in Cambridgeshire, I grew up in Buckinghamshire where my family has connections going back hundreds of years. I was always fascinated by my own family history from a young age. Researching the story of my family has been a passion that has never left me.

I will research your family with the same level of dedication and passion as if they were my own. I love to uncover your family stories, whether that be military ancestors, criminal ancestors, pauper ancestors or a whole host of other scenarios. Visit my website for more information about how I can help. You will find a link to my website on the right had side of this page.

Please contact me to discuss your requirements.

"Although I initially asked for help with a brick wall, he exceeded my expectations and requests and provided me with a beautifully written, detailed and cohesive report that summarised all of his work."

I have recently used Richard’s family history services again to research my paternal grandmother. He is an amazing man, his wealth of knowledge is incredible and where to look, delving into the archives is beyond belief. Richard goes above and beyond to try to resolve an ancestry query. I would most certainly recommend him, every time.

So pleased we asked Richard to help solve a family mystery! The only trouble is we found so much more and even more exciting rabbit holes to follow! The information researched and found for us was fascinating. I’m sure we will be back for more!

I had the pleasure of using Richard’s services in the past few months to help with a family tree project I had been working on. As soon as we agreed the terms, he started looking into it and kept our communication flawless. He provided me with consistent updates without any prompting, and always enquired about any additional incurring costs before going ahead with ordering documents, all while offering a very clear and realistic idea of what could be achieved in the time we agreed on. Although I initially asked for help with a brick wall, he exceeded my expectations and requests and provided me with a beautifully written, detailed and cohesive report that summarised all of his work. All of the evidence was cited and backed in well organised individual folders.

His passion for his work is very transparent and I’ve often found myself bombarding this man with questions that he always took the time and patience to reply to. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience and would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking to research their family tree or tracing their past history.

Thank you Richard!
