The Hampshire Genealogist

LMentary Family History offers a wide-range of products; a first-class research service, a selection of interesting presentations and a wide variety of family history classes. 

I am ideally placed to search local records for your Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex ancestors and would be delighted to uncover the exploits of your military ancestors using the records at the National Archives.

I travel across Hampshire and West Sussex delivering talks to family history groups and I have a variety of topics to offer. I also deliver full-day family history courses in Petersfield and courses that lead the student to the IHGS Higher Certificate in Genealogy and the IHGS Diploma in Genealogy.

You will find LMentary Education and Research has something for everyone.
