Search Your Past was established by Elizabeth Peters in 2009 after working for a number of years as a genealogist for one of the UK's leading family history research companies.

​

In the past I have also worked as a volunteer answering genealogical enquiries at Canterbury Cathedral Archives and as a volunteer with the Kingston Local History Project and West Surrey Family History Society. With over 30 years personal and professional family history research experience, I have worked on thousands of cases.

 

I have featured in the ‘You The Expert’ section in the National Archives Magazine, Ancestors, and BBC's Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine Q&A Section.

​

I am a member of AGRA - the only professional body for genealogists in the country.  It is like the 'check a trade' of family history!  Hiring an AGRA researcher means that you can be sure of getting a qualified genealogist, along with the backing and oversight of an external body - an important benefit.

​

I am passionate about what I do and am dedicated to ensuring my clients receive an excellent service.  Take a look at the research packages available or get in touch to see what is suitable.
