Hello 👋🏻

‘Tis I, Phoebe, the face behind Born & Bred. 
It’s a funny thing, although I am Born & Bred and Born & Bred is me, I actually rarely get to meet my clients face-to-face. But, recently I’ve had the pleasure of meeting quite a few of them, whether it’s visiting them in their home or workplace to interview them and learn their story, or chat about they’re family history in order for me to research their family tree and take a deep dive into their ancestors stories. Or, popping into the office to discuss their historical mysteries.

Whatever it may be, I love being able to meet and chat with people who want to delve into an avenue of history where I get to put on my history detective hat (not pictured 😂). 

Is this your sign that it’s time to dive into your history? 🕵🏼‍♀️

We are so lucky to have so much information online and at our fingertips, including a range of historical records.

BUT...

What we can access online is just the tip of the iceberg. So much of what we do is searching and accessing physical archival records to find those missing pieces of the puzzle or answer your questions.

There have been a few surprises recently 😲

Discovering that someone’s ancestor was actually a foundling, and as such the family name has been completely fabricated. 

It has taken four generations for this to come to light.
