WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"Without a doubt I am completely satisfied with the researched documentation of the final report. I would encourage anyone who is unable to have access to the primary source material to have utter confidence in Hilary McDonagh and Ancestor Solutions.” Mary K., Massachusetts, USA
“Hilary and her team are actually amazing. I gave them a very small needle in a giant haystack to find, and they went above and beyond my expectations. I used two other companies who found nothing and the little info I had was wrong. I have now seen all my Dad’s Mum, Dad, brothers and sisters names and where they came from. Professionally laid out and their full investigation into how they found them. I truly left the best to last and couldn’t be happier. 5 stars is nowhere near enough. Thank you, Hilary, and team”. John H. England
“I recently completed the 10-week introduction to genealogy course with Hilary and Frances, and it was absolutely excellent, definitely the best night course I have done. Their level of knowledge, preparation, class notes and presentation is way beyond anything you would usually expect on a night course - the fact that almost everyone turned up every week is testament to this! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their classes to anyone with even the slightest interest in social history and/or genealogy”. Sarah D., Dublin
