Whether creating introductory family trees or assisting more specialist cases, I offer help with a range of family history research projects.
I am Heather Nowlan, a genealogist and family historian based in Northamptonshire. Passionate about searching for family stories, I have been helping my clients for over ten years. My experience has led to becoming the Vice Chair and a Trustee for the Society of Genealogists and I am well placed to travel to the major archives and libraries to conduct research, including the National Archives.
I undertake a wide variety of family history research projects including creating family trees and finding lost relatives. My research has delved into sometimes wonderful, often complex family mysteries including secret families and forgotten pasts. As part of my services, I focus on local Northamptonshire as well as England, Wales, and Ireland.
Seeking out your family’s history, but not sure where to start? Over fifteen years ago, that was me too! My blog is the story of my journey, including all its twists, turns, discoveries, and bombshells!
Many thanks for the research you did for me, isn't it lovely when you open an email and the information inside is more detailed than you hoped, so thank you for all your efforts.

You may have a specific question you would like answered, or a family story you want to know more about. I will be happy to help with smaller projects as well as those more substantial, searching the archives and other resources to unlock your family’s history.
