At Family History Studio I offer bepsoke work or family history packages, including a starter package to suit all budgets. I am based in Northamptonshire and am geographically well placed to search in both the Northamptonshire Archives and/or the Northamptonshire FamilySearch Center. I can also undertake research in the Huntingdon Library and Archives and also in Bedfordshire Archives.
I have a Bachelor's (Hons) Degree in Education with a specialism in History and have the Advanced Certificate in Family History Skills and Strategies from Pharos Teaching and Tutoring Ltd, achieving Distinction at the Intermediate Level. I am an Associate of AGRA which promotes high professional standards in genealogy and historical research and I am also a member of the Northamptonshire Family History Society giving access to invaluable resources.
I come from a long line of nonconformists and have an interest in this area of genealogy. Many of the archives hold records of nonconformism and I can visit the archives to view these documents. My own family largely come from Norfolk and Suffolk so I have extensive experience in researching this area of the country and can also attend the archives in these counties.
I research family trees from scratch but for those who have already researched their family tree I can write this up into a family history narrative, printed in a bound book, which serves as a keepsake for future generations but also makes a wonderful gift. Please use the form below to contact me.
To find out more about the way I work please also see my website. I offer a free 1 hour consultation to discuss your project, carry out preliminary research and to identify your goals. Why not contact me today!
“Sarah has provided me with an amazing and inspiring link to my past. The very high quality & detail of her research is extremely thorough plus her manner & communication is always professional whilst at the same time being warm, empathic & friendly. I’d love to use her skills again in the future!”

“I guess like many researching their family history, I came up against a wall for one of my grandparents. I chose to contact Sarah who, after an initial free consultation, found a way through the wall on a very limited budget. I have no hesitation in recommending her services. The resultant report was professionally presented and comprehensively detailed. I am absolutely delighted with the results.”

“Sarah did an amazing job researching both sides of my dad’s family and presenting it in beautifully detailed family tree charts. Every fact was meticulously verified, and the result, a stunningly bound book which is the perfect gift for my dad’s 92nd birthday. I know he will love reading all the fascinating details, especially about his mother’s life.
Sarah’s passion, professionalism, and attention to detail have created a priceless family heirloom we will cherish for generations. She was incredibly patient and flexible, tailoring her work to our specific needs, and even accommodating a restricted budget.
I am absolutely delighted with the family history book and can’t wait to give it to my dad. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone wanting to preserve their family history in a truly special and meaningful way.”
