“I cannot recommend Sophie services highly enough for all her detailed work on our family trees. Sophie has helped us create four family trees in total, for both sets of our parents which has been enjoyed by all generations. At every stage she has been helpful, patient and supportive. She is amazing at investigating and finding out fascinating information. I particularly loved the way she contacted us throughout the process and checked the information as she went. The final product is beautiful. I love the family tree diagram, which you definitely need as you read through the depth of information. At the end of the process, we were given a hard copy and a digital copy as well as access to the GED site to allow future generations to add to the family trees. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sophie’s services if you are even a tiny bit curious about your family history.”

“Sophie’s extraordinary and meticulous attention to detail resonated in the exceptional family history research project she undertook for us. Not only does she find out the facts, producing crystal clear strands of the family trees she examines, but she also richly fleshes out the people and their histories with exceptional contextual awareness of her subject matter. We learned a great deal about our family in our final product from Sophie and felt that through her plush and engaging style of writing that they all truly came alive for us. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to undertake any research for you!”

“I recently commissioned a family history from Sophie. I expected to be given my ancestors’ names and places of birth, but nothing more.
The history I was given was incredibly in-depth. Now, not only do I know who my ancestors were, but I know what their lives were like.
My whole (living) family have been thrilled with the document, which was well set-out and easy to follow.
It’s been a fascinating journey, and I thank Sophie for taking me on it.”

“We had a basic family tree, but I wanted to know more than birth, death and marriage dates.
Sophie, through her thorough and intensive research, managed to find out so much about my ancestors, information we would never have known.
I was so delighted and extremely impressed with the result. It brought relations to life and gave a detailed insight into their lives. There were one or two surprises too!
I can’t thank Sophie enough for all her hard work and I will treasure our family tree, passing it my children in later years for future generations to enjoy.
A 5 star rating from me.”

I commissioned a family tree as a gift for my partner. He knew very little about his ancestry. Sophie Michell not only traced his family back several centuries but she also managed to garner personal facts about some of the members. It is a fascinating read and a perfect heirloom for his future generations.

My journey began when I started to navigate my way through ancestry.com and put my family history together. Luckily, I found Sophie and the whole process became much easier. I gave her some information in the beginning and she was able to research and put a book together that was really informative and exciting. I had her do my mothers and fathers side and was able to share and talk about the findings with my family members which was a lot of fun.

The family history Sophie put together for me was so much more extensive than I could ever have imagined! She found more of my ancestors in her initial search than I found in over a year of searching, even with the help of my grandparents’ basic family tree.
The final result was beautifully presented and as I’d chosen to have any exciting finds kept secret, reading it was both wonderful and a real eye-opener. Aside from learning about my family, it was also a fascinating insight into certain aspects of social history, replete with various photos of the type of housing that my ancestors inhabited.
I never got the chance to ask my grandparents all the questions I wanted to, but having this was the next best thing.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophie to anyone looking to have their family history done! She’s a fount of knowledge, and possesses an extra special family-finding skill. Above all, she’s a lovely person who’s a pleasure to work with.
