Family History & Historical Research
Welcome to Treow Roots Research.
Based in London, I offer family history and historical research services to those looking to build a family tree, explore the lives of their ancestors, and uncover records buried deep in archives.
Family Trees
I use a wide range of genealogical and historical sources to build family trees and add colour and context to the lives of ancestors. I can pursue particular family lines, dig deeper into individual stories, and help to verify those family legends passed down through generations.
Archival Research
Hit a brick wall with your own research? I can help you find the breakthrough. I am based in London and have access to major archives including the British Library, the National Archives, the London Archives, and a whole range of museums and heritage organisations with unique record collections that cannot be found online.
Media Projects
I am available for historical research on documentaries and heritage projects, having worked for major UK and US broadcasters, and on popular TV series including Who Do You Think You Are? and My Grandparents' War.
Past projects and clients include:
Client testimonials...
Alex is a gifted historical researcher. She is great to work with, both easy going and helpful in defining research needs.
Her results have been brilliant in forward and backward tracing through ancestry pathways.
But equally as important, in delving into multiple archives that can enrich many a life story, including newspaper, Court, Parish, parliamentary, military, health and other sources.
