Naomi offered me the option of having my family history professionaly bound. Having a family that doesn’t gather around a lot, I decided to order some for Christmas. They arrived today and all I can say is ‘Wow’, they are fabulous and well worth the money. My Uncles and mother are going to be so thrilled with them. Can't wait for Christmas now!!! Thanks Naomi, it was a great idea.

Thank you so much for all your help. The presentation of information was really good and very informative. It has also given me a good start to fully documenting the research. You never know - if I get "stuck" again, I may be back!
Sheena King, Hampshire (November 2009)
A tree which seemed impossible to be researched and built was made possible all thanks to Naomi Davies - she worked with very few details and managed to piece the research together (with proof these are our ancestors) into the most comprehensive family tree. My family are most grateful for finally understanding our roots.
Naomi was not only thorough but efficient and friendly to work with.
Loretta Clark, Cambridgeshire (October 2009)
My grandma left my mother and three other daughters in the 1930s never to return or be heard of again. The one thing my elderly mother wanted more than anything was closure on what happened to her mother.
In such a sensitive situation I did not want anyone with platitudes or raising false expectations in my quest to find my Grandma.
Having exhausted all the normal avenues, such as genealogy websites, I had the great good fortune to come across Naomi at Helpful Genealogy.
She was professional, an excellent listener and above all responsive to my request to find my grandma. She told me what the likelihood of finding her was, the approach she would take and the costs (which were very reasonable). She did what she promised, kept me informed and found her.
For my mother and her sisters this was not a happy ending but one of a deep sense of closure and satisfaction about knowing what had happened.
There was happiness in that they all found a new sister as my grandma had started a new life.
Through Naomi we have had closure, found a new part of the family and despite the emotions, this has brought us together as a family, particularly those of us who over the years have lost touch to a large degree.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Naomi, in particular, and my family is deeply grateful for not only her efficacy but her sensitivity and human touch.
John Hemming, Liverpool (September 2009)
Naomi Davies provided a first class personal service - her enthusiasm and interest in the research work was evident and she was prepared to go the extra mile to make my wife's family tree a fantastic journey of discovery. A fascinating process, a great researcher and an unqualified recommendation.
Martin How, Chingford (July 2009)
The research Naomi completed not only helped where I had become 'stuck' with my family tree, it really brought the names to life, creating real people, where they lived and what jobs they did. Naomi's work has also inspired me to continue genealogy as a hobby whilst looking at my ancestral county with new eyes.
Allison Bentley, Cambridge (July 2009)
Thank you for the work you've done for me. You've sorted out a lot of problems, things I just couldn't get my head around.
Brenda Wells, Nottingham (June 2009)
I have received the pack and [it] looks great. Thank you again for all your help.
Paul Tyrrell, Channel Islands (June 2009)
Thanks v much for your research Naomi. Yet again you have come up trumps!
Tracy Selby, Yorkshire (May 2009)
I contacted Helpful Genealogy having been recommended by somebody to research my partner's family tree. I was very impressed with the service, timescale and updates provided to me and the presentation on completion was second to none. I would strongly recommend anyone considering contacting a genealogist to consider Naomi first.
Tracy Cosham, Eastbourne (March 2009)
I do not know how to thank you for all your hard work. Without you I would not have carried on. Thank you for helping me find out who I am and where I come from.
Joseph Sharp, Harwich (Feb 2009)
Helpful Genealogy have produced a stunning family tree for me. I would thoroughly recommend Naomi, her work was amazing, she kept me up to date all the way through, and the finished tree is awesome. Thanks Naomi.
Colin Greenfield, Felixstowe (Feb 2009)
Thank you so much, Naomi, for all your help on the family tree, as well as on background information too. If I were ever asked, I would recommend you to others like a shot.
Charles Fraser, Surrey (Dec 2008)
Meeting Naomi has opened doors I would never have been able to do by myself! I was completely stuck researching my orphaned great-grandmother and I truly believed that it would not be possible to go back any further along that particular line. However, Naomi has totally astonished me by finding and tracing, in no time at all, an unexpected and fascinating branch of my family (complete with press cuttings and articles about them)!
I consider myself so lucky to have met Naomi - a lot of the jigsaw pieces have now fallen into place - anyone seeking help researching their own family should get in touch with her - don't hesitate.
Susan Martin, Bedford (Dec 2008)
Great personal genealogy service and in-depth ancestry research delivered in a personal and professional way. I would have no hesitation recommending anyone who wants to find out more about their family history to use this genealogy service. Brilliant!!
Mark Harvey, London (Dec 2008)
Thank you Naomi, both R and S were really pleased with their family trees. I was very impressed how quickly you managed to turn this around and also how effortless it was for me. I would definitely recommend your service to any friends looking for similar.
Daniel Larcombe, Leeds (Nov 2008)
I wanted to buy my mother a family tree for her birthday and Christmas present - I was fed up listening to her going on about us having musical backgrounds although none of us can sing a note!! I looked on the internet and found Naomi and Helpful Genealogy! After a sketchy family history written down for Naomi to work from, she has produced a family tree going back 6 generations to a relative who was at the Battle of Waterloo! And in case you were wondering, yes, we did have musical talents in the family - Naomi found pictures and newspaper reviews. Without Naomi’s help and patience, another year would have gone by with mutterings of ‘shall we do a family tree’!! I can't recommend her work highly enough.
Lucy Carvall, Essex (Nov 2008)
I have just received a fantastic birthday present from my husband. Within a short space of time Naomi has prepared a family tree, plus history, and discovered huge amounts about my family which I never knew. An excellent and very personal service which I can thoroughly recommend.
Brenda Thorogood, Bedfordshire (Oct 2008)
I asked Naomi to find out more about my father's history. I knew where he was born and his birth date. I felt sure that he had been married before meeting my mother and that he had probably changed his surname. Naomi found out an astonishing amount of information in a very short space of time.
Anyone wanting to find out more about their family history should definitely enlist her help. Not only was she thorough, I felt she was really interested in getting to the bottom of a very complex story.
Geoffrey King, Cambridge (Oct 2008)
I thought a family tree would be a nice surprise for my brother’s 60th birthday and he was stunned by the amount of detail and how many ancestors we have found from all over the country. I’ve tried to find the family tree myself but you really need someone who knows not only what to look for but where to look, and Helpful Genealogy does just that. Looking for a service on the internet can be scary with confusing lists of companies but I struck lucky with Naomi and would recommend anyone needing help with plotting their family tree to use Naomi for a thoroughly reliable, honest and totally professional service.
Sue Davis, Romney Marsh, Kent (Sept 2008)
Many thanks...What you have achieved is quite remarkable...a mixture of tenacity and common sense...I for one am most impressed.
Mike McQuade, Southampton (Sept 2008)
Just to let you know I received the parcel this morning containing the completed family history. I am so thrilled and amazed at the amount of work you have put in to this project and must admit to being quite emotional when I looked at all the information you have provided. Never in a million years would I have managed to obtain all the information listed and am quite staggered that you have researched all of this in such a short period of time.
Ann Simmonds, West Sussex (Aug 2008)
Glad your work is coming in because that is how it ought to be - you are making a difference to people's lives. Thank you so much for what you have done for me, I am eternally grateful.
Tracy Selby, Yorkshire (July 2008)
I decided to buy a family tree as a surprise present for my wife. Naomi was very helpful, her research was detailed and thorough and we were both delighted with the finished product. I would highly recommend helpfulgenealogy.
Graham Walker, Cambridge (July 2008)
It was wonderful getting the report on my father's family. Everyone in the family was thrilled. Thank you.
Margaret Morrison, London (May 2008)
After some of years of being registered on "Genes Reunited" without any success, it is through Naomi that my husband has found a family of cousins he did not know existed, including one who is living almost on our doorstep. She has also given us faces to names of other people from our past.
Madeleine Simpson, Portsmouth (April 2008)
I am amazed at your being able to find so many references in such a short time!
Cherry Heywood-Jones, Cambridge (February 2008)
I was amazed at the amount of detail, together with the evidence, which has provided me with a full and interesting family tree.
Brenda Rickelton, Newcastle upon Tyne (March 2008)
Very helpful in confirming much of the information I'd collected so far, and also found extra details which I'm thrilled to be able to look into further.
Tytn Hays, Cambridge (February 2008)
I knew very little about my family history, yet within a couple of hours, I could already see my family tree taking shape!
James Caton, Winchester (January 2008)
I thought I'd looked everywhere for information about the history of our new house near Cambridge, to no avail, but Naomi at helpfulgenealogy actually managed to find the original architect's plans!
Mel Lerway, Cottenham (December 2007)
After years of research I felt as if I had hit a brick wall and I could make no more progress back up the family tree. However once Naomi started helping I was utterly amazed by what she turned up in just a few weeks. Not only did she extend the tree back in time, she found out details to help flesh out the lives of my ancestors.
Jack Katz, Stanmore (November 2007)
You did wonders with such minimal information - Wow!
John Ricklewaite, Norwich (October 2007)
I knew I'd never find the time to investigate our family history - helpfulgenealogy put together a wonderful family tree for me remarkably quickly.
Dan Morelli, Cambridge (October 2007)
Naomi helped me track down a family ancestor who we knew left England in 1890s to train horses in the Far East but very little else- I didn't even know where to start!
Justin Perry, Durham (September 2007)
Thank you for the family tree. You have obviously put in a lot of work and it is quite fascinating. I think that all my siblings and nephews should be and will be impressed.
Tim Williams, France (August 2007)
