Here are some comments from satisfied clients.
My grandfather died before I was born but I wanted to learn more about his service in the First World War. I was delighted with the amount of information Patricia Marks Family Historian was able to find, even though his service record has not survived. This means a lot to me at a time when we are remembering how much we owe to those who served. If you want to discover how your ancestors lived their lives, I thoroughly recommend Patricia as a professional researcher. KH, Warminster
I have been amazed and excited at the amount of detail provided by Patricia Marks Family Historian. With only my parents’ dates of birth, and without any known siblings, she has provided me with full details of 5 generations of my family history, including a few surprises! This has all been backed up with birth, marriage and death certificates as well as parish records. It has left me eager to research other branches of my family tree. A truly professional service with results that are easy to understand. PC, Swindon
Thank you so much for the professional and thorough work that you completed on my behalf. I was impressed by the array of knowledge, expertise and resources you used and would highly recommend and use your services again. LJ, Trowbridge
Patricia came to our local WI group and gave a fascinating talk on local documents she had found, what they mean and the history behind them. The talk was very interesting and made personal to our town which made it even more poignant. Thank you so much Patricia, we shall certainly be inviting you back again and highly recommend you to other groups. JS, Melksham
Patricia did a wonderful job of detailing my mother’s family tree with very little information to start with. Throughout the journey, her communication was excellent, sending regular updates of findings. The final report and presentation book were incredible, a very lovely surprise for my mother’s 80th birthday. I highly recommend. LW, Westbury
Meeting Patricia for the first time, I was completely captivated by how she talked with such passion about family history. She is so knowledgeable and interesting; I could have listened to her all day. In our family we’ve always been told that the artist, Augustus John is one of our ancestors, so I knew that Patricia would be exactly the right person to help us find out.
We are some way through our family history project and Patricia is an absolute joy to work with. She relays any information she finds out by piecing together the facts and other interesting truths along the way, which really makes you feel part of your own historical story. It is quite an emotional journey and heart-warming too.
I have found out after living in this area for just two years that my ancestors lived a really short distance away in West Lavington.
We are looking forward to the next part of the project with Patricia immensely. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Patricia x NH, West Ashton, Wiltshire
I asked Patricia to do this research for my husband’s 70th birthday. What he thought to be relatively straightforward and mundane turned out to be a great read with some interesting and very surprising details. The presentation of the details made them clear and easy to follow. Thank you Patricia for your professional approach and personal interest. MP, Trowbridge
