Vicki Manners, Professional Genealogist and House Historian

Hello, my name is Vicki Manners and I run Bedfordshire Genealogy and House History Research.

I am a qualified genealogist, archivist, and house historian with nearly 20 years research experience, largely focused on the Bedfordshire area.
 

Prior to establishing my own consultancy, I worked for Bedfordshire Archives, The Panacea Museum, and a number of other heritage organisations in Bedfordshire.   This breadth of experience gives me a unique and specialist knowledge of genealogy, family and house history records relating to Bedfordshire, and how they can be used to research your ancestors.  I have an expert knowledge of traditional genealogy and family history resources, but more importantly I have a knowledge of less well-known records that can help with more complex cases. I specialise in finding all those critical and relevant records that are not available on-line.

Whilst the majority of my research is focused within Bedfordshire, I also undertake specialist projects outside the area.  At the moment I am  currently the overseeing the genealogy research and YDNA testing programme for The Royce Family Association in America. 

I offer a free, no obligation, consultation so you can find out what I offer and how I may be able to help you.  If you then decide to go ahead, I provide you with a bespoke research plan and an agreed budget before any work is undertaken.
