Get in touch

I asked if Elizabeth could research my grandfather’s paternal line and the information she managed to find was incredibly interesting, going as far back as the Civil War. The book she produced was very detailed, as was the family tree and she was very happy to answer any question I asked. Would gladly speak to her again about any future research.

SEARCH YOUR PAST has researched several family trees for me, and the service is amazing…..Elizabeth is expert in finding out little tidbits of information that you could never find yourself …..I would thoroughly recommend.

Val Petchey

Elizabeth helped me with 1 line. To find more about my Grandmother’s parents. Found a few things out that I didn’t know about. Very interesting! Now can’t wait to find out more about my other 3 lines. Thank you for your help 🙂

Brilliant service! Elizabeth is a hidden treasure, as she can delve and discover family histories, then present them in a way that they become generational treasures. A meaningful and impactful contribution to our and the children’s understanding of who we are, as well as our place in the World and History.

Elizabeth is absolutely wonderful, she helped me break down a tough research brick wall we came across researching my mums and nan’s family history. 100% recommend to anyone.

An amazing researcher! I am bowled over at both the quality and the quantity of Liz Peters’s research, as well as her specialist knowledge of the sources and the skill with which she is able to see and demonstrate connections. The brick wall in my research is well and truly demolished and I look forward to further revelations in the future!
