About Us
Ancestral Discovery was established in 2013 so that we could pursue our passion in family history with the intention of assisting others to gain an insight into their ancestral roots.
Our interest in genealogy started over 20 years ago, with research into our own family history across eight separate family lines with incredible results, including the interesting past of some and on occasions, the dark moments of others as well as dispelling some family myths. This research took us back as far as 1488 and as far afield as Nova Scotia, Canada and Oamaru, New Zealand.
We work with a wide range of records and resources such as local and national archives, libraries, electoral role, and various online and subscription only digital genealogical resources. We are also members of the Sussex Family History Group (SFHG) and actively volunteer for, and contribute to, the Find A Grave project.
