Research Disclaimer

Research is undertaken, and the Trees and Profiles are compiled, in "good faith".  Initially, we use information and records provided by our Families, and then, on an ongoing basis, what is available in the public domain. In the case of the children who have only been partially researched, credible information from other researchers. 

Where possible, we verify "Facts" against more than one source. 

Where there are instances of multiple spellings of names, or there are a number of people with the same name, all efforts are made to ensure that the right people/family are researched. 

There will be occasions when, after extensive research, it is not possible to provide records for people as, regrettably, these probably do not exist e.g. it was not uncommon for people not to be included in censuses for a number of reasons, one being that they were away from their home on the night that it was taken, another being that people took steps to "avoid" the census enumerators. Or, it can be that the census was not taken e.g during WW2, or they were destroyed e.g. Irish censuses. 

Our aim is always to unearth as much information as possible about the people we are researching.  As such, there will be occasions when this can be surprising e.g. unexpected birth dates, illegitimacies, parents’ previous marriages, criminal activity etc. 

Web links are provided following brief research only.  

Whilst all efforts are made to ensure that transcriptions are loyal to the original, this may not always be achieved due to historical records containing illegible hand writing, or they have faded over the years. "Causes of Death" are not transcribed for sensitivity purposes.

Our Families are requested to review the contents of the Trees and Profiles and contact us, either at the end of the project or in the future, if they identify any inaccuracies. We will be pleased to remedy matters at no charge. 

DNA testing is a complex subject. Again, we undertake analysis in "good faith". Whilst there can be many benefits when conducting family history research, it is important that our Families take measures to satisfy themself that such testing is right for them and their circumstances, taking into account such issues as privacy, both for them and their family, and the impact of new close relatives being identified or even people, whom they believe are blood relations, not sharing their DNA.  

As family history researching is not an exact science, we respectively advise that we cannot be held liable for errors, inaccuracies or omissions.
