I’ve been meaning to apply for an Irish passport for ages as my dad was born in Northern Ireland but kept putting it off!  I was recommended to contact Kathy and I’m so glad I did!

When I met Kathy, she walked me through the entire process, telling me exactly what information and certificates I’d need. I didn’t have one of the necessary certificates but her team managed to find it so I could apply. They filled in the online forms for me and, after the signing and witnessing process was complete, they sent everything off to Dublin. They even monitored progress.

Incredibly, I received my passport the very next month!  I can’t wait to skip those long queues when I head to Europe next month. 😜🍀😜🍀

P.S. Kathy and her team’s are now helping my kids get their Irish passports.

Firstly, congratulations on your presentation re grand-father.  It was incredible. You really have developed an amazing business together with a powerful team of researchers. I was enormously impressed and I know that my sister and wife were too. Thank you so much for having given up your time to direct us through to the end product. 

I really knew very little about my mother’s side of the family, even to the extent that I did not even know my grand-mother’s name other than “grandma”!

"I knew lots of "things" about my forebears but Kathy was able to prove that all my "things" were factually correct! 

With Kathy's help I now know factually who my Grandad and Grandma were and am now in touch with and working on genealogy with a cousin."

“My mum was not well. I asked Kathy if she would research her side of my family.  Sadly, she passed away a few months later.  But, I was really pleased that I had the opportunity to share the fabulous stories of our ancestors with her.  She loved talking about the people she had known.  We had never spoken about them before! 

Would highly recommend Kathy.”

“When researching the provenance of an historic property which was in danger of being demolished, Kathy generously gave of her time and expertise at short notice. She provided a complete family tree in short order which augmented the social history of the building and which also illustrated the wider context of the evolution of the local hamlet. 

This assistance proved to be an invaluable contribution to the successful preservation of the building for the foreseeable future.” 

“The only information I told Kathy was that I had a baby brother who died in Glasgow when I was about 12.  She asked for my mother’s maiden name and said she would have a look to see what she could find.  I was astounded that, within one working day, she had provided me with a copy of the death record and, having consulted with her fellow members of the British and Scottish genealogy groups, a paper containing guidance as to where he may have been laid to rest.  It was an incredibly emotional experience. I cannot thank Kathy enough for her first class service.  I would have no hesitation recommending her.”

“Kathy is a combination of professional, diligent, and approachable.  She makes family history both interesting and enjoyable.  My family and I are now hooked!”

"I was astounded with Kathy's research….rather than just a tree with names and dates, she gave me detailed profiles and also evidence to back up the facts!  My ancestors were brought to ‘life'.  It is truly a unique legacy for my kids, grand kids and their families. Amazing!”

“I’ve known Kathy as a good and loyal friend for many years and was delighted when she offered to assist with my ill-educated attempts to delve into my ancestry. The up-shot was a huge success; she managed to combine her genuine knowledge, experience and efficiency with a warm enthusiasm and empathy - almost as though she was a family-member herself.  The ‘reveal’ at the conclusion of her efforts was an interesting, fun and exciting event! 

I was so pleased with the whole experience.”

“I had no idea we had any connections with the US, nor that any of our family were on the stage! Kathy discovered that my 3 x great aunt and her husband went to New York from England in the late 1800s, and that they even performed in vaudeville shows!

Kathy found photos, reviews and theatre posters. It turned out that they had (and we still do!) a big family in the US! We are now in contact with them. Who would have thought!”
