Genealogy
Grandela Genealogy provides comprehensive family history research services in the UK and internationally, helping individuals explore their ancestry and uncover their family connections.
Using a wide range of historical records and genealogical resources, we carry out detailed research to build accurate family trees, trace lineage, and provide a deeper understanding of family history.
Family Tree Verification
Many of our legal clients involved in estate administration have only limited knowledge of the deceased's family tree, often because the information available to them is incomplete or based on family assumptions. It is not uncommon for relationships to be misunderstood, with relatives believed to be closely related when the true family connection is different. For example, a relative assumed to be full-blood may in fact be half-blood.
In cases involving intestate estates, or where a Will does not account for the whole estate, it is essential to identify and verify all entitled beneficiaries to ensure the estate is distributed correctly and completely.
We provide professional family tree verification services, using genealogical research and documentary evidence to confirm family relationships and identify any potential issues. We are also pleased to offer an initial free assessment of family trees provided to us, helping clients identify areas of concern that could otherwise result in an estate being incorrectly administered or distributed.
Family History
If you are interested in researching your family history but are unsure where to begin, we would be pleased to provide guidance, advice, and training. Our genealogy expertise has been developed through many years of researching thousands of family trees using a wide range of historical records and research resources. As we are independent of all software providers, we can offer impartial advice on the different family history tools available and, where required, provide training to help you make the most of your chosen resources.
For those who would prefer a professional genealogist to undertake the research on their behalf, we offer a range of family history research services tailored to individual requirements. Whether you would like to explore a particular branch of your family, trace your ancestry further back in time, or develop a comprehensive family tree, we can provide research to the level of detail you require.
Your completed family tree can be supplied in either printed or electronic format, allowing you to continue exploring your family's history in the future if you wish.
