I approach genealogy as both a historical discipline and an act of preservation. My archival work encompasses records produced by a wide range of courts and administrative bodies, including civil, ecclesiastical, probate, chancery, and land offices. These materials often combine legal formality with deeply personal detail, revealing the lived realities behind official procedure. I approach each document with an awareness of its legal, linguistic, and historical context; interpreting not only the handwriting and terminology, but also the intent, jurisdiction, and human story embedded within. This perspective allows me to read the record as both a legal instrument and a window into the culture that created it.
I welcome opportunities to collaborate with researchers, descendants, and local historians who share a commitment to accuracy, context, and the enduring value of archival evidence. Whether uncovering forgotten ancestors or interpreting centuries-old legal documents, I aim to make history meaningful and accessible to every generation.

The 1728 Last Will and Testament of James Oswin of Newton Harcourt, Leicestershire. The will is written in early 18th-century English cursive script retaining elements of secretary hand, characteristic of transitional legal writing styles of the period.
