Erin C, September 2023

William helped me try to trace my 2nd-great-grandmother, whom I've longed to learn more about for many years, but who had proven elusive to me as a casual, novice researcher. His communications were timely, providing clear information and requirements. I've been thoroughly impressed and grateful for his knowledge, professionalism and diligent research. Based on this experience, I won't hesitate to seek William's assistance for future research.

S Williams, August 2023

Thank you so much for the work you have put in. It confirms closure to some family matters. I cannot thank you enough and would most definitely recommend your services.

North Gosforth W.I., July 2023

William paid a very welcome visit to North Gosforth WI with his talk ‘Genealogy from Postcards’. What a super evening we had! Both those members who are obsessed with tracing their family tree, and those who had ‘never got round to doing it’, were fascinated by the story which unfolded in front of us. He explained how to use the many sources available to discover our ancestors.

Newcastle East W.I., January 2023

William delivered a fascinating talk to our WI. His warmth, enthusiasm and expertise captivated his audience and encouraged us all to embark on our very own genealogical journeys!

The journey of discovering more of my family tree has been an emotional rollercoaster, but one that I'm extremely glad I had William navigating. He was very communicative and I never had to chase him for an update. He was transparent and informative throughout, and consulted me at every turn when sensitive information arose. The report had a level of detail far beyond what I expected.

Bowes Belles W.I., August 2022

“I really enjoyed the evening, very interesting speaker.”
“Really interesting, and all from two postcards.”
“Thoroughly enjoyed tonight — speaker was great.”

Living in Tasmania, Australia with an immigrant grandfather from an isle in Scotland has been challenging. I was fortunate to be introduced to William Cumming of Rowan Tree Research. William kindly agreed to research on my behalf in accordance with my budget. Within a few days he provided a detailed tree and report outlining the history of my family, along with documents to verify the report. I would not hesitate to recommend Rowan Tree Research to prospective clients. I am one delighted and satisfied customer.
