It can be daunting employing a professional genealogist to research on your behalf or as a gift for a loved one...I pride myself on providing a free no obligation consultation, on always making deadlines, on replying quickly to emails, on great attention to detail, and mostly on the feedback I am lucky enough to receive from people whom I have helped with their family history:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
