TESTIMONIALS

"My father had always been troubled that he knew so little of his families paternal history.  His father passed away when he was quite young, and so valuable paternal history was never passed down to him.  For his 80th birthday I decided to gift him an insight into his past.  My cousins had already spent some time tracking the family history and had done a good job of building the family tree. I thought Historic Paths would hopefully find out a little more that would help us build on the tree and maybe understand where in the UK the family originated. Some weeks later we were presented with a folio that contained the most unbelievable level of detail and information. Marisa had unravelled things like shipping transcripts, old photos, information on family jobs, even a couple of scandals.  What was revealed blew us all away, and the folio has become a family treasure for us all.  I cannot recommend her work enough, it goes way beyond what any family can uncover on their own."
