Annoying Ancestors

“I just wanted to thank you for your excellent talk to our group last week. The topic was fascinating and your passion and interest in the subject was clear to see.” Mike Hannah, Allestree Local History Group, October 2021

“Thank you for a very inspiring talk last night, and being prepared to share stories from your family, which made it more practical and concrete. We’ve had lots of good feedback from the members too.” W I Member, November 2020

Thank you so much for coming to our group last week and giving us such an interesting presentation, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Much food for thought, I think we would all like to know more about our ancestors, it’s just allocating the time to do the research, but you have certainly “wetted our appetite”. September 2019

Australian Gold Rush

On behalf of Chellaston History Group I would like to thank you for your fascinating talk on the Shirley family & Laurence Ferrers trial & hanging. I’m sure after our next committee meeting I will be in touch again to arrange another of your talks. Chellaston History Group via email August 2022

“Your narration of the story was very good” – Margaret Ward-Davis, Littleover Ladies’ Phoenix Circle. October 2021

It was lovely to meet you last night for such an excellent talk.  Audience participation always goes down well and I had many comments from the audience of how interesting and how much they had enjoyed the evening. It was a goodnight for us with an audience of 55, our highest this year.  How interesting that a descendant of John Johnson was there.

How Many Children!!!

This presentation was both moving and enlightening. It explored in detail aspects of past lives that most of us had only fleetingly thought about.  Gwyneth. Wilkie, Society of Genealogists, March 2022
