Kylie was a delight to work with and quickly finished the brief. Missing gaps and information was soon filled in, and she presented me with a perfect end result. She was genuinely interested in the project and found a family photograph that I shall treasure forever. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her service.

Julia, UK

I contacted Kylie from the USA to research my husband's family in Scotland. The results were outstanding! Despite the time difference, Kylie always made herself available. The attention to detail was incredible and the final, beautifully bound book and family tree made the perfect gift. My husband was thrilled. A wonderful service!

Jennifer, USA

Kylie says she is passionate about helping families uncover their history and approaches each case with care and integrity. This is a huge understatement. The work she did on our behalf to put our book together is amazing, it really is. The book itself is beautiful and will be treasured within our family forever!

Bob, UK

Kylie easily joined the dots between what we knew, what we thought we knew, and what was historical fact. With attention to detail, and the ability to soak up the historical context of what she discovers, Kylie's determination to uncover the facts within your history and her presentation of those discoveries is exceptional.

Seb, UK

I’ve just had a large project (that was complicated at times) completed with Kylie. It was done with the utmost professionalism and the content is superb. The standard and quality of work is outstanding! I would highly recommend Kylie 100%. Thank you so much!

Sue, UK

Kylie, thank you for everything you have done for us! My wife and I are really happy with the end results of her research package. You have found answers to so many unanswered questions that she had.

John, Spain

My Mum cried when we gave her your final presentation book with our family history inside. She is over the moon with it! Kylie, you really are very talented! Thank you.

Jeff, UK

We commissioned Kylie to investigate my family and the results were incredibly comprehensive, well written and presented brilliantly. I would recommend using her service. My family and I are very happy with the outcome all around. Thank you!

Understanding UK to Australian Migration and What It Means for Your Family History

Between 1788 and the present day, millions of people made the journey from the United Kingdom and Ireland to Australia. Some were sent. Some were subsidised. Some saved every penny they had for the privilege of going. And some, in the decades after the Second World War, went for just ten pounds.

Preserving Living Memory - How to Capture Your Family's Story Before It's Too Late

Like most people, I had four grandparents. Unlike most people, only one of them was alive during my lifetime. He lived in England, visiting every Australian summer, and died in 1992 when I was fourteen, just a year after I had begun what I can only describe as a family history obsession.
