About The Gene Poole

Find out what the Gene Poole is all about

I set up the Gene Poole to help others discovers their own family history - skeletons and all. Alternatively, if you are worried about those skeletons, or someone else in the family has been doing the family tree - maybe you want to research the history of your house?

My service encompasses all aspects of genealogical research and will go as far as your interest and budget will take you. There are always deadends, blind alleys and red herrings. No one can claim to be immune from them, but with experience, you can question them and avoid the simple ones.

Your family history

My service is split into three packages, and a bespoke service. The packages, called the bronze, silver and gold, provide you with a set service to research 3, 4 and 5 generations from yourself. With birth, marriage and death certificates, maps, and a narrative and pictorial family tree.

The bespoke service provides you with the particular aspects of research you need to complete your family tree.

Your house history

If you live in an old house, you may have wondered about it's history. A lot of information can be obtained from genealogical sources, and from sources like the land registry.

My service provides you with a chance to find out about your house, with three packages allowing you to go back to c.1900, c.1800 and c.1700.
