TESTIMONIALS
"Pam ran a workshop for us that provided a wealth of information on sources of family history as well as useful recommendations and ‘hot tips’ on how to use them.
She has an entertaining and engaging style and was great at answering the many questions that resulted from her presentation, demonstrating her extensive knowledge and experience of carrying out genealogical research. People went away from the workshop enthused about researching their ancestors."

I was adopted as a baby and asked Elissa to help me trace my birth family. She did far more than I could have hoped for. As well as providing a lot of in-depth information going back a few generations she also tracked down my half brother and sister with whom I am now in regular contact.
Elissa has had a profound effect on my life as thanks to her work I now have a whole new family.

"I have had the immense satisfaction and pleasure of receiving the services of Elissa in tracing my family history.
Her work is exemplary, thorough and efficient and her ability to discover family, past and present, is unrivalled. Her natural instinct for all things genealogical is very impressive, but surpassing all her considerable ability is her understanding, kindness and alacrity.
My wife and I cannot speak too highly of our pleasure with all aspects of her work, disposition and temperament. A truly prized researcher."

I decided that I wanted an in-depth history of my family. Luckily, I met Pam Fox who said she would help me.
I was delighted with the work she produced going back over two hundred years. I now have on my study wall two grand family trees, which I am very proud of.
My husband was so impressed by Pam’s work that he asked her to help him create his own family history. Without Pam’s help we would still be in the dark about our family heritage.

Good fun working with her and her partner Elissa. They are consummate professionals'

I contacted Elissa for help with a dead-end I had come to in my family history. I had tried to dig up anything on my great, great grandfather for 6 years with no success.
Very quickly Elissa managed to solve
a few riddles and start the ball rolling and now I finally have some answers. She wrote a very impressive, professional report on the findings and has since been a wealth of historical information on Liverpool and Manchester. I would highly recommend her services.

"Pam has a strong background in social history and a special interest in family histories.
She interviews with great empathy, is proactive in initiating lines of investigation and very experienced in searching historical records, and discovering historical background information, old documents and pictures from various European countries.
As a published author, she is able to present all this information in a fluent narrative that families will want to read."
