Lancashire Genealogy
Welcome
Discover your Lancashire roots with guidance from a Qualified Genealogist.
Researching Lancashire families isn’t always straightforward. Historic boundaries shifted, industries reshaped communities, and records are scattered across multiple archives. Understanding that landscape is essential before research even begins.
Tracing ancestors across the modern counties of Lancashire and Greater Manchester requires expertise, patience, and a deep knowledge of local archives and parish records. That’s where we come in.
About Us
I’m Kim Hunter, founder of Lancashire Genealogy and a professional genealogist living on the border between Lancashire and Greater Manchester. With a Master’s degree in genealogy and recognition as a Qualified Genealogist, I’ve spent many years researching local history with my heritage society, helping clients uncover their family stories across this ancient county.
Our Services
-
Comprehensive research to build your family tree, tracing ancestors across Lancashire and beyond using parish registers, civil records, and census records to create a clear picture of your lineage.
-
Specialist research for tricky Lancashire family history problems, where historic boundary changes, scattered records, or local naming variations make ancestors hard to trace.
-
If you need on-the-ground research across Lancashire and Greater Manchester, we visit archives including Lancashire Archives (Preston), Manchester Central Library Archives, Wigan Archives, and Bolton Local History, uncovering records not available online, such as poor law and workhouse records, hospital records, electoral registers, newspapers, and estate records.
-
We research your home, business, or a property your ancestors once lived in, using census records, civil registration records, and newspapers to uncover who lived there and the stories connected to the place.
Our professional research is charged at £28 per hour. Additional costs, such as certificates, travel, or other expenses, will be discussed and agreed in advance.
