A growing collection of worksheets, planners, guides and tools designed to help family historians organise their research and tackle those inevitable brick walls.
Family history rarely progresses in a neat and orderly fashion. More often, it involves contradictory census entries, mysterious disappearances, parish registers that refuse to cooperate, and the occasional moment of wondering why you started researching this particular ancestor in the first place. These resources have been created to help bring a little order to the chaos.

Your details will only be used to send you the workbook and occasional updates from Regency Relatives. I will never sell your information, share it with third parties, or bombard you with endless marketing emails. Frankly, I have far too many ancestors to investigate and cups of tea to drink for that sort of thing.
If I do get in touch, it will usually be because there is a new article, resource, or research service that I think fellow family historians might find useful. You can unsubscribe at any time.

These guides are designed to help you develop practical research skills, avoid some common pitfalls, and bring a little order to the inevitable chaos.
