How to find a professional genealogist?
Many research projects will require the services of a professional genealogist. Whether to find and copy documents held in archives some distance from where you live, or to help bust that ‘brick wall’ that stops you from progressing back in time, or simply from lack of time . But how do you go about finding a professional genealogist?
There are two professional bodies in the UK that provide accreditation, being the Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives (AGRA) as well as the Register of Qualified Genealogists (RQG). Both provide lists of qualified professionals by geographical area as well as specialism, and so you can be sure to find the right person to help you.
Elizabeth Yule, who leads the team at Achievements, is a member of both organisations, having qualified with both the IHGS Diploma in Genealogy as well as the University of Strathclyde MSc in Genealogical, Paleographic and Heraldic Studies.
