Vicki Manners, Professional Genealogist and House Historian

Hello, my name is Vicki Manners and I run Bedfordhire 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.

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 reseach plan and an agreed budget before any work is undertaken.
 

"Thank you so much for your work with my Denton girls, I am very thrilled with it. I want to say that of the genealogists I have had work for me your work is absolutely outstanding. Your thoroughness, skill and dedication show your exceptionally high standards and I am so lucky to have found you. I will sing your praises loudly to anyone who is in search of a genealogist." J.T

" Brilliant that you have found her mother. That’s amazing. Thank you so much. I’m not sure I would have ever got to the bottom of this by myself!" JP

"You’ve done an amazing job. I’m so impressed with what you’ve done" JM
